Who knows some days....

Today I woke up feeling great. I didn't have a lot of enthusiasm for what I needed to do with my day, but I was in a good mood, I put some work into getting ready, and I got the work I needed to done.

I was under the impression that today was going to be a pretty good day.

Then 3:21pm happened.

I just deleted a long diatribe about my experience leading up to this moment, but suffice it to say, I have been trying desperately to get more financial aid, and the GW Department of Financial Assistance pretty much gave me a big 'F you' today and it looks like I will be taking on another $10,000 in student loans.

I cried. A lot. Like, I'm pretty sure I am dehydrated from crying so much. It stung. I used the word 'hate' more times than I could tell you. The weight of the response was just so heavy, I couldn't contain all the emotions I felt.

Then 4:30pm rolled around.

Apparently I won a drawing for a £50 voucher for Amazon.com.

Now I can't decide....which way is my life going? Who knows some days....
