Welp, it looks as though life just wants to be as difficult as possible. I'll start with the good and very briefly discuss the unfortunate news.

I went to Arizona for 5 days last week and enjoyed it a lot more than I had originally thought. I was sort of disappointed because I thought it would be more relaxing, but I spent a good portion of the time I had driving my incapable and impaired family members around. On the bright side, I got to drive a Hyrbid, which was different, but I definitely enjoyed it. I was pretty nervous about flying. I get really nervous and feel sick to my stomach, but fortunately, I had a nice dude that sat next to me and I'm pretty sure he could sense my apprehension. He started talking and continued talking the rest of the flight and before I knew it, we landed! Better yet, landed safely :P I got to see things that you don't see in the PNW. A lot of palm trees and In-N-Out Burger! Delicious and GREAT customer service. Highly recommend it. So I was there for about five days and then had to come home. The flight back wasn't nearly as interesting as the flight there and I was definitely more nervous, but I survived that too!

...then when it's time to come home from vacation, it's time to face reality.

I was excited to be back home, but with everything I'm forced to deal with, I would almost be on a permanent vacation in Ireland or something. I received my financial aid in the mail a couple days after I got back and unfortunately was robbed of the grants I was offered last year. It's a very weird situation, but long story short, my dad and I can't afford for me to return to WWU, so I will be finishing this year at a community college. I think I'm becoming more accepting of the decision, but I just know I'll be missing out and I hate to think about it. I was on facebook and looked at my list of friends and realized that a significant chunk of those friends I met at the university. I'm just going to miss it a lot, and the food :) However, I know finishing up at HCC will be the better decision because it's going to save almost $20,000. My mom offered to pay for my tuition in full this year, which I found VERY surprising. It's almost too good to be true, but I'm going to rely on it for now. I just know it made my dad take a big sigh of relief when I said I would stay. I'm sure once I get into the routine of things, I won't be as upset about the situation. It's just unfortunate that there really isn't much more we can do. I was verrrrrry nervous about going to HCC because I sensed that some people would judge me (not that I was really worried) I just didn't want to make the wrong decision and feel like I threw something away. Everyone has been very supportive, and that's all I really need. Support. And great friends, which is something I do have.

Anyways, I'm sure there is a lot more to talk about, but it's 3:30 am and I'm verrry tired.

I very nearly dropped out of university due to financial problems too. Well at least neither one of us are walking down that path and it's a good thing to be grateful off although all I do lately is cursing how certain people are. =) I'm sure you'll do just great in your community college.

I'm so sorry about the dates, i think I should spell the months out instead next time.

THanks for your birthday but unfortunately it isn't between Renaye and Randy's. I'm looking the one which falls on the 19th! But.. now I'm also looking for someone whom birthday falls onthe 14th then I'd have about 9 people in a row.
