not as stressed = good
I'll start off with school. Yes. That again.
I've been e-mailing the director and the secretary regarding student loans. They assured me that I probably have nothing to worry about. It will obviously be late, but they are ok with that. They say that the loans, lately, have been being approved and processing fairly quickly. It will probably still be 4-6 wks, but it was a week ago saturday (I guess I can just say monday) since I submitted the form online.
They also explained that I have 30 days to decide if I want to stay in the class without having to pay them (or, for those who have paid already, they will get their money back) they said they do not want any student to feel like they are "stuck"
It makes me feel better that I have that option, but on the other hand, I really dont want to have to use it because my loan was not approved.
I'm still slightly worried about the fact that I have been working for ten years, and making money (and not saving it, big mistake) and then going to school full-time. I wonder if the student loan people will tell me they will not give me a loan, or will not help pay for living expenses because of that.
What I ant to do, is to try and do full-time at first and see if I can do it. If I find that we just can't live that way I will look for a retail part time job. Maybe at Reitmans (I love Reitmans!) and work nights and weekends (which would suck to work weekends after having them off for so long)
So I'm not sure how that works exactly.
My motto lately, I guess, has been I will wait and see. Blah.
Oh! saturday I got a lot of my supplies at Michaels. My grandmother bought me a portfolio case to carry my shit in. YAY! that was nice of her. I still have a couple of more things to get for september's supply list, then I need to work on getting Octobers things purchased.
EXPENSIVE> WOW!
But, if it were any other course I'd probably be buying expensive books...so yeah.
Went to the mall with Kayla and Kevan, actually we went to the taj mahal first. It was really good, but later I wasn't feeling that well. Bought a daily planner at Chapters, it's pink with mis shapen cats on it. *shrug* I like it!
Wandered around the mall, had a green tea latte at second cup, went to HMV...then took the bus home. It was rainy and shitty outside. I dont like!
My supervisor talked to me at work yesterday telling me that I will be missed. She asked what I was taking at school and I replied Visual arts. She gave me a look and said "and?"
I was like.,."and?" she said what else? I told her I can go into graphic arts etc. abd she said her brother does graphic arts.
I dont even know if I want to pursue graphic arts, I know that I will be exposed to it at the college and so if I like it I will have every oppertunity to continue with it. But I will have to wait and see if thats what I want to do.
I guess I have one more paid day off, so they will let me have friday off. :) thats nice of them. So I will be working up until thursday. I will have fri, sat, sun and mon off, then start school tuesday after labour day.
*SCARED*
So anyway. I need to get some thank you notes for Cathy, Donna, Kathy, and Lisa for their reference letters :)
Maybe friday, when I get paid, I can get the rest of my supplies and some thank you notes. :P
Anyway. I am hungry!!
Orion meows like he is saying "Hello" sometimes. I wonder if its because I'm always saying "hello" to him :D
BYE!
