The good: Oh, Em! Your package was waiting for me when I got home, and it served to make me feel better. Because, wow, what a load of awesome. (I'm wearing the cami now because it was glittery and lacy and I couldn't not.) Thank you so much! I think I'm going to have to self medicate with chocolate and tea and DVDs tomorrow.
The bad: I went and checked in the office about my grant. And I was told that I don't have enough hours to receive it. So I said thank you and left and did not scream or cry at all, even though I felt very much like doing both. Because my hours have not changed at all in the past three weeks or however long it's been since I got my financial aid paperwork stuff back or since last Monday when I made what I thought was my last payment and specifically asked my account to be double checked and was told the grant would be in by last Friday. And if the computers could just boom, quick figure out today that I wasn't allowed to have this money, why couldn't it then? And I hate how the office lady was acting all 'it isn't that big of a deal', because know what? To me, it is. Because this is going to kinda bog down the whole need-a-car-to-get-a-real-job-can't-afford-a-car-with-what-I'm-paid cycle I'm in right now. And, seriously, if it isn't that much money to her, why didn't I see her volunteering to foot the bill (they do this every time I'm in to schedule classes and say that no, I can't afford to take another. Because college is free and I'm being stupid.) *fumes*
