I came home from school today to find my most beloved most awaited piece of mail of the year (ok, the second), waiting in a big white folder for me to open. I open the heavy folder peaking inside, uncertain if I wanted to see the subject matter of its contents. Inside I find that they, because of my parents income are only able to aid me with $7825 per year. I have yet to hear back from the other grants that I have applied for, but hopefully their contributions will help pad the amount of money that I will be required to find in other places, a.k.a. loans.

Although I did kind of throw all of this on me when I chose to go to a private university that costs $26k per year. And of course with my luck my parents were quite belated, when they brought up the issue of "How in the world do you think that we're/you going to pay for this?". But it seems that the finances are beginning to fall in place, now if only I can manage to get my hands on a little more!
