Slow, slow week

HEY LOOK! I remembered when Friday was. Go me!

In other news, it has been incredibly slow this past week. I'm caught up (for the most part) in my assignments and, really, not a whole lot has happened this week.
Besides social drama. But even that's been slow and dragged out, sooooo...

I did not get the RA position for next year, which I knew I wasn't going to get anyway, but now that just leaves me with two more options (for the time being): apply for scholarships (like I'm suppose to), or apply for a campus police job which pays for room and board anyway. It's *kinda* like being an RA, only you're a junior police officer instead of a junior house manager.

Either way, I'm taking out loans next year. I plan to find work over the summer (Cherry Plantations, YEAH!), even if that means doing onion rings again for Burgerville. Yippy skippy.

On another note, I finally got to see what all the dorm areas look like, and I must say I am impressed with the Madrone apartments (the fancy dorms across from Cascade)
Better yet, here, a photo:





Nice, eh?

Anyway, feels much like an apartment as you walk into a living/kitchen room, and then down the hallways there are separate bedrooms for up to four people. Plus personal bathrooms. SO NICE.
Unfortunately, the price for it per year is $8,852 (this includes the meal plan). Only a $1,082 difference between what I'm paying now for staying at Greensprings, but I hate to have loans paying for my housing more than it's paying my tuitions.
Seems kind of weird, however, that if I'm taking 16 credits for three terms exactly, it only comes out to be $5,718 yet I'm paying more to stay at housing that I can barely afford for in the first place unless I quit school and work for at least one year.
I'd hate to do that though, so I won't. I'll just regret using loans to pay for my housing more than my education.
Ah...at least I won't have to pay the additional 8% rate that's going up for next year.

Oh and on another random note, I might be getting sick and I might have TMJ. Huzzah.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well, to say the least, and I will talk to you guys later!

SOCIAL DRAMA. The best kind of drama too.
Not really.

At least you're caught up with assignments, that's good.
For once I've been having to work so hard, because of finals assignments. I hate it.

Be sure to have a doctor corroborate your case before you worry too much about it. If he has already... what did he say?

But after living more than six years with TMJ like I have, you get used to it. But dont let it get to this point.
