For the past few weeks I have been in the midst of finals and moving from Spokane. My brother and I drove up in my 2004 Volkswagen New Beetle from Spokane to Anchorage. We did it in 4 days and had no disasters happen. So I am pretty proud of myself for that.
About 2 weeks ago I sent in my application for a work study position. I have been offered at least an interview for every single job I have ever applied for so I wasn't at all worried about getting work-study.
The e-mail for work study went out today and so far it looks like I haven't received any financial aid. My consortium agreement hasn't even gone through yet and I sent that to them over a month ago.
I mentioned before that financing this trip will be the hardest part. I was right. With every rejection of financial aid it seems more and more likely that I will be completely screwed come August. I dont know if I will be able to actually go. If I can't go, I can't go back to Gonzaga because I have already received an approval for leave of absence. Even if I could get it removed all the classes I need to take are full. It would be a waste of a semester.
So the options are to go and spend over $25,000 completely in loans, not go and waste my time at home, or get my leave of absence revoked and waste my time at Gonzaga. OR I could beg every person I know for money so that I am not completely buried up to my ears in debt.
This financial aid stuff really needs to work out at this point =/
