The Process

Hello to my Followers and those who will be following soon!

Of course it has been a minute since I have given you all the scoop on my life! First thing, I got into my Post-Bac Program at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale!!! I am very proud of this accomplishment and all of you should share in my excitement!

So you know how sometimes life can hit you with lots of overwhelming occurrences, well that is sort of where I am right now.  When you feel like it just doesn't end and you just want to skip to the phase in life where you are done with all of the business you talk about to other people on a daily basis.  However, I know I cannot skip to that point and everyday I must accomplish at least one task so I can feel good about myself for what I did. 

First there was the apartment search. Living in Carbondale is scarce especially with a dog.  I love animals, why can't everyone love them?  But I found a place, my humble abode, where I will be living for two years...yikes! One check on the list right, okay on to the next one....

Second, FAFSA of course has its way of sneaking up on you and that is filled out and submitted along with the tuition waiver for the fall and spring semesters.  With that in mind, that puts more stuff on my list---I have to complete a FAFSA for 2009-2010 school year so that I can turn in my summer tuition waiver.  But let's talk about how I really need the fall and spring tuition waived.  I went through undergrad with all these loans and I'm just praying that God comes through for me so that I am not left with so many expenses at the end of my program. 

Third, I must prepare for financing this program if I do not receive a tuition waiver.  So that means applying for scholarships and loans (ugh!!!)...This is truly an aside but the lady sitting at the table next to me is slurping and chewing so loud, LIKE REALLY! But anyways, I have not progressed in this quite yet, but I'm working it.

As you can I am so far from drained...I'm near breaking down but God stays on my side so I can't complain any further.  Everything is almost over so no worries. I'm just trying to push through and get this taking care of so I can just sit back and relax!

And you what...I know this blog entry is boring because it is boring me typing it but just keeping you guys updated on my journey!

Peace and blessings!
