Juxtaposed in Japan

07/31/2006: "[ILC/Library] Yay for money!"

Listening to the odd conversation next to me (and I know the people!)

Not sure if I mentioned it the last time I wrote, but it's raining almost everynight now. This is good (rain still somehow impresses me. I credit the "I live in a desert" fact). It also struck me as curious a few days ago that it's raining so much now, but that's because it hadn't been raining much over the past few years. Arizona (and other parts, I'm sure) has what they like to call a "Monsoon Season" (between Summer and Fall). According to some meteorologists, it's different enough that it should be considered a separate season, but that's unrelated. This is where it rains for a long period of time and nearly floods the city, but is still really nice and not incredibly hot for a while (sometimes a few weeks, yay!). Over the past few years, it hasn't really been raining much. Totally pointless!

Anyway, I got my financial aid situation figured out (I don't think I mentioned that either, but I had to go battle it out last week over a fairly significant chunk of money that the school decided they didn't want me to have). Came in with tons of papers, getting ready to yell, scream, complain, and leave in defeat only to be told "Oh yeah, we fixed that last Friday". Soo.. they have my phone number and both e-mail addresses that they use to contact me, and they assumed I'd just figure this out?

Other than that (and including that, considering I have my money back), today's going alright. Only slept 3 hours or so, but I'm feeling fairly awake. So.. that's about it.

I really should write more frequently. Keeps things from seeming so life-destroyingly (that's a word, I swear) catastrophic when I do write.

That's about it.. I'm going to continue to browse online and stare at random websites while listening to the odd conversation going on right next to me.

i know what you mean about financial aid-i had to go into the office to meet with the work study coordinator to convince him that i needed the job i had applied for at the end of spring and to tell him that the guy wanted me and would hire me if they would approve the work study. i was prepared to discuss the matter, only to find him look up my info and say-oh you're signed up for work study in the fall.
as you say, they had myaddress, email , and phone number, but somehow i was jus tsupposed to know that i had it? They even told me when i applied before summer that they'd contact me if i was approved. i wonder when they planned to contact me, a week before geez
