I just wish it was September already... I'll be halfway across the counry, moved into my new place, and I'll no longer have to worry about money. School will start and I can go back to my normal life - not being stuck at home under my parents dominion, broke because no one would hire me for the summer. I'll be done playing games with the financial aid department, who FINALLY just updated my aid report, so it now says I got approved for all my loans. Even that gave me a scare, because before I realized they were only showing me the amounts per semester, I thought it was for the whole year and they thought I only needed half of what I asked for or something. Whew. Glad that's not the case. But at any rate, I'll still be indigent the few couple weeks in September. FI says I can borrow money from the wedding fund and just pay it back when my refund check comes in mid-September, which I suppose is what I have to do, but I just hate the idea of it, even though I'll keep track of it all. I don't have textbooks yet, and I've got to feed myself for 2 weeks. Thank god my rent is already paid for September or I'd really be in trouble. Sigh. Life was much simpler when the parents were willing to help out now and then. I think I'll be less stressed when I start grad school because everything will feel normal again - how's that for irony? :P
