I just wanna give a quick praise. I had some issues with financial aid at my online college that seem to have been (mostly) worked out. The financial aid package they've emailed to me still doesn't include some things that it should, but...this situation is much, much better and more work-able than what was going on for a little while there.
I also wanna praise God for getting me to the point where I can go to school and benefit from and engage in college-level instruction. When I tried to go back to school at a state school, 9 years ago, I was 23, burned out, and I was not smart enough to be there. I think my parents backed it $$$ because they wanted me to do --something--, and they wanted me out of their part of the state. Not surprisingly...that semester ended disastrously; I was even electroshocked (not my idea, of course).
Now...its not always easy, but I enjoy the material and I like learning. My big hope, of course, is that the attorney my dad hired when I got myself in some trouble is telling the truth when he says he can get my ((serious)) misdemeanor conviction sealed...that way, I'll be able to look at more jobs than if I'm stuck with the conviction on my public record indefinitely. If that happens, then I just might, maybe, perhaps be able to get a decent jobby job, work, pay taxes, all that good stuff...and leave all the sin and madness and crime and...all that...behind me.
OK. This is me, Praising God yet again for His goodness and His mercy.
