After going through all the hassels registering, getting financial aid straightened out, finding out the day before classes start that a teacher cancelled a class and didn't notify anyone, etc. school is actually going quite well.
I'm taking intro to psychology, intro to theatre, intro to communications, and event planning. I know, those really random classes for a first semester sophomore, but what are you gonna do? Right? LOL I'm really quite excited about all of them! (I have a surprise about my theatre class coming in my next blog so stay tuned!)
I get my refund check on the 24th. Originally, when I first checked online it said I had $943.50 coming to me. I checked again a couple of days ago, out of sheer boredom mind you, and I got quite the surprise. My scholarship hadn't been listed online. My financial aid, as it had previously, paid for my tuition and my books. The $943.50 was the amount I had left over from my pell grant. With my scholarship tagged on, I'll be receiving close to $2000. TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS! (This may not seem like much to some of you, but believe me...coming from my background and being a poor college child to boot, this amount is amazing!)
Shame on me, I'm already trying to think of ways to spend it before the check is even in my hands. I know that I'm definitely going to get a laptop. It will help me with my schoolwork immensely. (I'd love to get a mac, but all of my money would be gone. If anyone reading my blog works for Apple, I love your products. Feel free to send me anything you'd like me to test out!)
With this money comes my ability to get a gym membership! FINALLY! I'm so excited. I'll be joining up the first week of October. I've already lost 3-5lbs due to pure stress from school so that's a good start! HAHA!
Do you guys have any suggestions on how I should spend my money/what laptop I should get?
Let me know! Post it in the comments please!
I'll try to start posting more frequently. :) More later lovies!
