The financial aid gods are clearly not on my side. Since I was officially registered, I've been in the financial aid office and/or been on the phone with someone in said office more than I have in the going on 5 years I've been at The Alma Mater. And lucky me ::snort:: my TAP is maxed out, and I flat out refuse to take out loans, so this is coming out of my pocket. I looked up the bonds my parents gave me to see how much they're worth. Two words: jack shit, at least in comparison to my craptacular tuition bill. They won't even put a dent in it. And won't until 2021, and by then it won't matter. So I get to swish some money around and make out a check to The Alma Mater for about 3 grand. Paying my tuition has always depressed me in the past, this time it just might very well put me in a coma. I know it's not like I'm wasting it on something useless like Linkin Park merchandise or View Askew DVDs or Lindt truffles ::drools::, but still...
In slightly more cheerful news, I'm really loving my British Writers class. Granted, all we've had to do so far is read -- no papers or test yet -- but I'm really feeling it. I've never been so into a class with the LITR prefix before. We just finished this book and it was seriously hilarious. It was a little dry in the beginning but I was cracking up the after the first 40 pages or so. Just too funny. I highly recommend it.
I thought I was going to go out and see Matchstick Men tonight, but decided that I really need to get some reading done. I've slacked on reading Frederick Douglass' autobiography (probably because it'll be the third time I've read it since 11th grade English class) and I am so spacey when it comes to Renaissance that I just sit in the back and think of new screennames for AIM (I have 23, at least one for almost every letter of the alphabet; my name is Ter and I'm an AIM addict). So I think staying in and doing some reading with a large, bottomless pot of Green Mountain Hazelnut coffee (and maybe a cup of almond vanilla tea to take the edge off the coffee) will do me a world of good. And besides, I want to be an English teacher, and if I'm going to teach any literature I should read some, eh?
Hope all that were in the path of Isabel are safe and didn't incur a lot of her wrath.
Happy Friday wishes from,
Thanks for reading,
Ter
