Finally INDEPENDENT and going to OZZFEST
YAY! I'm so flippin' excited!! I just finished prossessing my FAFSA information for the next school year. They finally see me as being an INDEPENDENT! at least in terms for financial aid. See, even though I've technically been independent, for tax purposes, the federal government for school funding has seen me as being DEPENDENT. What all of this means is that for the past 5 years that I've been in school, I have had to include my mother's income information, even though I get zero education support from her. It has pissed me off every single year because I hate that the government requires me to include information regarding a person that is unable to fund my education. It has severely affected the amount of money I receive each year. And for the past three years I have had to deal with student loans that barely cover tuition and books. But this year, at one point the FAFSA said that they consider me to be independent and am not required to enter a parent's information. That is the BEST news ever! I know that by the time the next school year begins I will be 24, which means that I have met the age requirement to receive a federal PELL grant. If I could get some of that grant money, it would help me out tremendously when it comes time to pay back my student loans!
So in other news, things are going really well between John and me. I got to see him for a few hours this past Wednesday. That was pretty great. Without going into any great detail, I had a really nice time with him. And let's just say that my 6-month dry spell has officially ended. I hope I get to see him tonight for a little bit. He decided to pick up an overtime shift so he won't be getting home until 8 this evening. Plus he's got to be back to work in the morning at 7, so I don't want to keep him up all night since he's got to be back to work so early. If he worked any other job, lacking sleep would not be an issue, but I really do not want to be responsible for him going to work, having to go out on fire runs and whatnot. Anyway, I'm just excited to have someone around again. It's been a REALLY long time since I've had a boyfriend. We haven't had any discussions regarding our relationship, but I think we're really heading in the direction of being exclusive. Even though I don't exactly have anyone else I'm seeing.
So my sister just called and she just got our tickets to OZZFEST!!!!!! It's JULY 19th. They're in row XX, which would put us in 50! But still, like Robin said, it means our ASSES are sitting in seats rather than sitting on the damn grass. And should it rain, we'll be dry! But we were able to get all 4 seats together. I guess a couple years ago when she went, they weren't able to get all their tickets together and had one seat here and another over there. So this time we're all together. Wow, I'm so excited!!! That means that we've got 4 months, from tomorrow, for the show.
Well, I suppose I should go. I've got a paper to write plus another assignment for another class........
