Early Summer Update

Well not a lot has happened in regards to Drexel.  I did complete my housing already.  Unfortunately, I found out after I had it completed that it wasn't necessary to finish complete the housing questionnaire yet.  Oh well.  The important thing is I have a room.

One other thing that I've been struggling through is the Financial Aid process.  My mom thought it would be a good idea for me to complete as much of it as possible as soon as possible.  I completed my FASFA, as well as all of my institutional Financial Aid info on time.  What she was really interested in me completing was the government loan information.  I figured it wouldn't hurt so I completed it back in late April or early May. What I found out after finishing it was that if the institution did not request the money within 90 days, I would have to reapply  and they would have to look at my financial info again.  This information was probably somewhere in the fine print, which I only skimmed at best.  Oh well, it isn't a big deal to fill out the application again.  It was a very easy form to fill out.

I actually put in my notice 2 weeks ago that I will be leaving my job September 9th.  Hopefully by giving Alvernia 3 months notice, my position can be filled by the time I'm going to leave.  I honestly want to make it as easy for them as possible when I leave.  It won't be easy to fill my position (and my supervisor's as well).  My supervisor's last night is tonight.  This is going to mean an increase in my "work" at night, as I will be responsible for answering any questions that come up.  I won't have her to differ to anymore.  Its not a big deal, just something else for me to do during the long nights in the Library.

Well, that's all for now.  Time to watch some more soccer.
