Odds & Ends...

Sorry for the lack of posts on here lately, but well... I just haven't had much to say.

I finished a painting in class, but I haven't had a decent photo taken of it yet to show y'all. It'll be on here soon.

Hubby and I took a trip up to UNT to tour the campus. Many moons ago I had friends who went to school there so I've seen the residence halls (quite a bit of the residence halls in fact, LOL) but hadn't ever really ventured around the rest of the campus. During the tour we were taken into one of the residence halls, and the room my friend Erika lived in was a few doors down the hallway... boy that brought back memories. Then there's several new buildings and they are in the process of demolishing one of the halls, but I still recognized a few places. I couldn't believe all the snack bars, coffee bars, food food food for sale everywhere, and then a huge new rec center, rock climbing wall, personal flatscreen tv and headphones on each stationary bicycle, hot tubs, internet connections everywhere, lounges with pool tables etc, the list goes on of all the "ammenities." I told Hubby, screw paying the mortagage and property taxes, I'm never coming home again, HA!

He was not amused.

But here's what I didn't plan on- from talking to Financial Aid they told me if I enrolled in the Spring, I wouldn't get any aid. This is AFTER I had submitted my admissions form. So now after being admitted to the Spring, I'm having to request a change to enter the Fall term. It's been a week now and faxed, emailed, and made phone calls, but no word yet on the change. It's aggravating because now I have to decline my financial aid that was applied to Tarrant County for the Fall term... but I hate to cancel it before I know for sure I'm admitted at UNT for that term! But I have to cancel it at TCC before they can apply the aid at UNT because you can't have federal aid going to two schools. AARRGGGHHHH!

Anyway, enough of my rant. What you can take out of that mumbo-jumbo is that it looks like I'll be attending UNT in the Fall if all goes well. If. Oh yeah, and because of entering UNT early, that means I won't be completing my Associates at TCC. Oh well, I got most of the core curriculum crap out of the way. Just a final math class and my sciences to take at UNT. All the rest will be ART! The fun stuff!
