A personal update.

This past week and the week coming will be putting me through so much thinking and so much stress. Before this week I thought I had everything set up. My running, my school, my mind. Within one week it all came crashing around me.

I finally go to talk to my adviser. I picked out every single one of my classes and was incredibly excited for my future. I'm in the nicest dorm, got the perfect classes and found amazing new friends. There's just one thing. My financial status.

The price-tag for happiness: $19,000 a semester. My financial aid status: $0.00

Why?

Something I have no control over. Basically it's come to my parents. Since they are not citizens I cannot get anything. I'm a citizen but have the chance of losing out on college because of something I have no control over.

My solution?

A simple paper pleading the people up there to set me as independent. To make it so that I get the financial aid I rightfully deserve. The scholarship I won. The grant given to me by the school. I've been screwed out of my cal grant by people in the advisement offices in my middle school. Out of all the fucking kids in the school I'm the one that they entered wrong. Figures. -.-

The luck I have huh.

So.

I'm stuck here waiting for the phone call to tell me what's going to be my future. They have my future in their hands and I have to wait up to 21 days when school begins in less than 10. I score into the highest classes and everything and I'm left here not even able to register for my classes.

I have to check out my community college options. Never thought I would be saying that. Oh well. If I end up at a community college I will not be going to ULV.

We'll see what the future has in store for me I guess.
