Putting down the begging bowl and celebrating for another year:

I went over to the Financial Aid office this morning. I got there at 8:30am and it was already ninth circle of Hell hot. And the funk of all the people waiting in line with me was almost too much to bear. Ugh.

However, I *did* get good news when I finally got to the head of the line. My secondary appeal has been approved, I should be getting my award letter very soon. I should be getting money soon after that. I can actually relax a little. That is, until I wind up in math class tomorrow...[shudder]
