Money :)

For the past few months I have been calling and emailing the financial aid people. I wanted to know how much I was getting, but the answer was always, we are still behind on the fall, be patient. GRR! I so did not want to be patient. I had my mom call this morning and WAAALAAA! My mom got them to post it. I got my grans and loans I am approved for. Good news is....I don't need any loans...I don't think, still working on the math :) Maybe I will stick to the babysitting and get some more snack money before I leave :)

Boxes

Hanging on my wall was three wooden boxes, each of different sizes. I had this brilliant idea to take them off the wall and paint them all black, then tie a huge white bow around each of them. I went down of Joann's and spent a good half hour deciding between sheer wired ribbon or just wired ribbon, hardest choice I have ever made in my life, not really but is sure seamed like it at the time. Afterward, I continued on my journey to Lowes, to get black paint. I picked out a sample and took it to the paint dude. He mixed up the paint and I took it home. I opened up the can, looked at my boxes, looked back at my paint can, and BAM it hit me, I forgot paint brushes! So, I went down to Ace and got some cheap sponge ones. When I finally got back, I put on my first coat, the color did not please me. I added a second coat, still not black enough. Well long story short eight coats later and I am some what satisfied. I may add another coat before I put the bows on. Pictures to come after I attach my bow! :))

Housing

After months of deliberation, I have finally decided on my apartment. I have chosen to stay at Colonial House. It is a very nice apartment complex that is furnished, houses 5 girls and has a 50'' flat screen T.V., like I will have time for that. It should be fun, can't wait to find out who my roommates are!
