Almost done

So after my last post, I finally spoke to my academic counselor. Turns out they only needed an amended tax return to complete my financial aid. After all that worrying and basically throwing away my straight A's all I needed was to redo my taxes. I am kind of pissed off about the entire situation, but I cannot dwell on it.

I resumed classes and turned in all my late assignments. Unfortunately, my professors couldn't accept all my make up work because school policy prohibits any assignments later than four days. I've been told that the highest grade I can earn is a B in both classes. That sucks! But I suppose I should just be happy I passed.

Anyway, final projects are due on Sunday (my 28th birthday) and my new classes start on Monday (Dawn's 29th Birthday) I am not really looking forward to my next block of classes because one of my classes is Essay Writing.....I am not the least bit good at writing essays. I never have been. Hopefully this course teaches me a thing or two that prove valuable especially since my courses will just get more and more difficult as I get closer to my MBA.....

Ok now I'm scared.

Diet update: I've lost 35 pounds total.....

discouraged beyond belief

Never fails! I get things going in the right direction, FINALLY! Then BOOM something comes along and messes it all up!
School was going great! I was ace-ing my classes....Then low and behold financial counselor calls me to let me know that I have been denied financial aid, and if I want to continue to my next block of classes, I will need to pay the $2k to cover the first two classes. Yeah cuz I have money like that just sitting around! Seriously! Then the girls and their dance classes. I was sooo proud of them when they audtitioned for the performance classes and were invited to participate, but then they give the first bill on 8/20 and tell me it's due by 9/1.....Yeah okay again like I have an extra $1400 just sitting around. I hate money....I hate having to deal with money, and I hate not having any of it!!!!
