I have had some trouble making the adjustment to being an unemployed student again, so the past couple of weeks, while enjoyable in some regards, have been tough in others. (Menstruating hasn't helped. I really wish I could just go off hormonal birth control entirely, but that's not a thing that can happen for about another 15 years.) I am feeling ( Read more... )

+ Last weekend, I went to the Rendezvous at Vincennes, where I prowled the grounds, went to the fashion show, and saw the artillery demonstration and EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY BIG BATTEL, which ends differently every year. (This year, the armies of the Continental Congress quailed before the might of the British Empire and were driven ignominiously into ( Read more... )

1.) Happy birthday, angeljuggalette!2.) Also, I heard back from the DoE (damn, that was quick) and apparently can get up to $4K in Pell Grant money, which would be nice though a loan would also be okay. We'll see what happens once the University gets its mitts on my information, so nobody break out the champagne just yet. But I seriously, seriously hope the ( Read more... )

OMG you guys I just submitted my FAFSA for 2010-2011. I hope I didn't inadvertently lie to them about having never received federal aid (though to the best of my recollection, I haven't--only state aid, which is different.

But I'm not getting paid for several more days, and when I do, I have some First World problems to take care of, viz. my car and credit card payment. After that, we'll see; I'm sure I can scrape something up for you. Love, l33 ( Read more... )

"It's been a hard winter, but summer is here and the fields want us to walk upright."
--Tomas Tranströmer, "Standing Up", Night VisionI seem to be going back to school next year (calendar year, not academic year, so 2010). This is one of those things that is so overwhelming and for which I'm so grateful that I'm still sort of processing it, so that ( Read more... )

Happy birthday, imperfectkatoru!

Also: a happy belated birthday to queen_lily_rose and jadecat both. Afkdjalk;sdfjlkajdsflkjda I keep forgetting people's birthdays. This is sucktastic of me.

It is also sucktastic of me to not be around very much. Here is a list of profoundly unimportant things that have happened while I was off flitting about.
