Oh Goodie goodie gosh!

Please tell me I did NOT just quote the Care Bears.

Anyway, so I was looking at my UofA student account (my student link for all you peoples in the know) and I was looking at my transactions account. It says as of Friday I owe nothing (but which has now changed cause I charged my textbooks on my account), but it showed some random transaction for some check and then it said like 700 bucks. Confused, I sent an email to the finanical aid office to inquire what this was. I got the response this morning.

I AM GETTING A CHECK FOR $700 IN THE MAIL!!!!!

Apparently, I had spillover funds from my scholarship money. Now obviously this is all going back to the U in terms of book money and food money, but YAY! It pays to be smart! I got 10.5K for being a National Hispanic Scholar, 1K for just being a National Hispanic Engineering student, and the other K from winning the state math competition. Hey, it's something.

Also, today is my nana's 78th, though she doesn't look a day past 72.

Went to the 99cent supermarket yesterday to get a few basic apartment supplies I'm gonna need at Skyview. Since there's gonna be no janitors, we have to clean the place ourselves, which makes it a little more realistic in terms of living off campus. We got just some basic stuff: mops, cleaners, paper plates, silverware, tissues, paper towels, etc. Cuz I'm a frugal little bastard, though for some reason I had no problem charging full price for my textbooks on my student account. To me that means I should never get a credit card.

Gonna start moving some stuff on Wednesday and gradualize my stuff throughout the week (partially because my folks want to get in to clean the place themselves). This is perhaps one good thing about living at home. That and cheap tuition. But I just find it hard to believe that in a matter of days we'll all be going our separate ways, travelling to distant lands, only seeing each other after school and online.

Now I have to figure out which stuff to take. Crap, now I have Journey in my head

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways

And then that guitar solo, which is pretty good. doooooo doooo, do do dooooo doooooooo, do do dOOOOoOoo dooo, doo dooo dododododo doo dooooo dooodoodoooooooo....
