Italy

Well, I got a bit of a disappointment late last night.  I checked my email and got the news that my application for a scholarship was not accepted.  This is a bit upsetting to me mainly due to the fact that it was a scholarship offered by the school, and I do so much for the school.  I really hate the whole "financial needs" evaluation.  FAFSA is a crappy way to evaluate a persons needs financially.  They ask about every possible income and yet they do not ask a single question about any debts or payments being made.  Not only that, but they believe that anything over $14,000 should be able to be used for college expenses...  $14k is not a very good livable wage.  If I lived on my own I would pay $650-$800 a month in rent alone... Take into account utilities, vehicle, food and you can easily be over $14k...  LAME!!!!  so, that kind of really makes me mad...  On the good side,  I get to FINALLY take a trip that I have wanted to do for over a year now!  I get to drive and camp all along the west coast!!!  yay!!!  not only that, but I get to go home for the first time in 2 years!  haha  I have been brainstorming the trip this morning, and I think it'll be soooo much fun!!!  I am really excited for it!  All in all, being denied the scholarship might be a really good thing!

a good day

So, today started off with not enough sleep and some nasty bad dreams...  Totally went better after that!!!  I was a little nervous,  I was going to go to Heather's house to watch football with her dad and bro.  I am mainly nervous due to the fact that it has been an uphill battle for me to get them to like me.  Granted, after they actually met me, it has gone well!  :o)   They just did some "research" on me and saw some Facebook pics...  LAME!!!  I didn't really fit the type of guy they wanted for their daughter, or granddaughter either...  Needless to say, I was nervous.  We decided to start with the zoo and end up back at the house for dinner and football before a birthday party for one of our friends.  Today ended up being AWESOME!!!  it went sooo well!!!  yay!!!  lol
