Found Out

Wow... what a whirlwind this has been.

My financial aid crisis might be over. Yesterday, I called the school again to try to get a hold of someone who could help me and was finally transferred to Mary. She took all of my information and said she would call me back regarding my situation. Given the relationship I have with Schoolcraft and how they always promise to call back, I wasn't hopeful.

About an hour later I get a call at work, and it is my teacher. He said that he was out and might not be back for the rest of the semester due to a medical illness. I told him that whenever he gets back to work, he will have many voicemails waiting for him. He said he would take care of it and I would be all set.

I called financial aid today and she still hasn't received an email from him. I called the Mary I spoke to yesterday who was a lot of help and she wasn't very helpful about it today. She said she would call me back if there was "anything she could do but didn't think there was because she couldn't bother the teacher at home." I told her that it wasn't my fault that I have been getting marked absent and that I need my student loan to survive through this semester.

Who knows what will happen... maybe Mary will pull through and help me or maybe I will be stuck and we will be hurting for cash and then I can feel horrible for this whole big mess in the first place.

Now...
I know God is amazing... I know that he can make anything happen and if I am supposed to get this loan, it will work out. If not, then I'm sure he will work me through it. I have already learned a lot of lessons through this... mainly being patience. I went to bed Tuesday night all upset... and tired and just not knowing what to do. That caused me to miss a lot of sleep because all I did was think about what if this doesn't go through, what will we do? Then I decided to put all my trust and faith in God and I got to sleep soundly. It's amazing what happens when you don't carry the burden by yourself. It's so freeing.

Now I sit back and I wait... My teacher won't be back for a while so I will be praying for him for better health. If you think about it, please pray for him too. His name is Richard Delonis.


My birthday is just 2 days away... that's crazy! 26 stinking years old... hard to believe that I have been driving for 10 years!!! I am 4 years away from 30... WHAT?!?!!!
To celebrate, my 2 co-workers and I are going to Chili's tomorrow for lunch and margaritas!! Brian is at the academy all day so I will be celebrating with the girls before I celebrate with him!

He is going to Auburn Hills to test on Monday. That should be good. I'm anticipating a phone call one day that says, "Brian Wilson, we would like to offer you a position... " Man... that is going to be a good day. He is doing amazing at the academy though. He is meeting a ton of people that are really cool... (I've gotten to hang out with the boys a few times...)

Well I should go so I can actually get some work done! :o)
