It's been an interesting few days. Classes have began anew with a full-new semester awaiting me. I challenge it to intimidate me! Ok, not really. I don't need anything more on my plate.
Daniel and Stephanie were in town this weekend, they left Monday morning for Colorado Springs, CO. He is out of tech school now and was stationed there. I wish them luck. They don't have a place to stay yet, although they have free housing on base for a short-period of time. Stephanie also hasn't find a job yet. She has several engineering degrees but not the required years of experience that all the firms in that area want. Perhaps she can get one anyway.
Tonight was my first night, alone, working the Stout Desk. Fun times. Ok, not really. It was quite boring. For just four-hours of work, I took an unimaginable number of books with me, my CD case (which I never listen to and only recently found) and my
iPodand an FM Modulator. I didn't get nearly as much homework done as I should have for four hours. I guess it's because I had more fun talking to people, Mikel was there and later Chris dropped by.
I applied for more financial aid to cover my semester. Since I had spent the year in Wisconsin, I lost over $5500.00 in financial aid that I previously had. This causes a problem. I've managed to limit it to being negative $1300.00, but I have to get it taken care of. And I want to buy a new
Mac Mini. So I've jumped through all the hoops to try and get another loan, now I just wait until the Financial Aid Office processes it, normally it would take only a week, but she said it should take longer now since it is the beginning of the semester and they are short staffed. Woes me.
Me and Mikel are doing well. I'm to the comfort stage now. A lot of the newness is gone, but he is still very exciting. I don't feel any reservations and don't think(over think) things as I would normally do. I'm just enjoying where we are and waiting for the next step, whatever that will be, when it reveals itself.
I talked to Heather this week, she's very excited. The guy she met here in Stillwater when she was visiting will be in Wisconsin the 2nd week of February. She's going to come down here in May again (and I think she's going to bring a friend) so that will be fun.
Me and Mikel are still planning on San Francisco for Spring Break, I just need to find out about my taxes and if I'm getting a refund before I know for certain that I can afford it. As it is now, I can't. But hopefully I will manage to get a refund like I had last year. My taxes have been so damn complicated. W2's from two states, 1098-I and 1098-T forms along with misc other crap. Ugh, frustrating. I miss the days of a single W2 and using taxcut.com.
