so, i got the call from the mtcu yesterday. my funding got approved, so that's a good thing. unfortunately, i probably won't see a dime until about three weeks after this coming wednesday. so, in other words, i'll still be poor for a couple of weeks, unless i get an emergency loan from the school (which i may just have to do). these past few weeks have been some of the most stressful ones i've ever lived through. i don't think i've ever had so many pimples at once - honestly - it's ridiculous!
so, i went back-to-school shoppng today. i was completely overwhelmed. i had no idea what things are supposed to cost anymore, and i wasn't exactly sure what i needed. hopefully, i can make it rhough the first couple of weeks with what i picked up... ni know there's still a bunch of things i'll need, but they'll have to wait. it certianly wasn't like when i was in high-school and mommy would give me her grand and toy credit card and tell me to "get what i needed"... that normally meant about thirty dollars in pens, maybe a hundred in binders, the newest and neatest whiteout, twelve different colours of highlighters, art pencils, white gum erasers, sketch pads, and always forgetting lined paper. well today, she would have been proud - i bought 200 sheets of lined paper, and it rang through at 33 cents. it pertty much made my day (which is a direct testament to how boring my life has become).
on a different note, the "for sale" sign went up today. very exciting. i can only hope this place sells - fast. i want that other house so much i'm dreaming that we're already living there. my biggest fear right now is not getting it and having to styay here. my whole positivity plan was actually based around the things i wanted not coming to fruition - kind of a way to get me to not put so much stock into things i can't control. unfortunately, i'm still the same old april. i know is we don't get that house, i'll be devastated. so, let's all hope everything works out! ;)
