What's New in My Life...

Well, I finally caved and joined Facebook. I'm hoping to generate more traffic for my ArtFire shop that way and so far it's working. My shop views have doubled so cross your fingers for a sale soon.

How Goes School

Well, I am proud to say I have filled out and submitted both my FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid) and my WCC admissions forms. I should hear back from the college in a week or so when they've processed my application to let me know when I can schedule any placement tests I may need to take. I should also be hearing from them about whether or not there is anything else they need for my FAFSA eligibility. I hope there isn't anything else to fill out.

I won't know till July if I will get the financial aid though. The people in the financial aid office say I should receive full financial aid (a Pell Grant up to $5550 for 1 academic year). I should also receive an overview of potential federal student loans as well. I haven't discussed it with my Grandmother yet but I'm thinking if I do receive notice of getting full financial aid I may just stop the job hunt and focus solely on my jewelry making. We'll just have to see how things go... I'll keep y'all posted.

ZOMG!! I actually have news!

Today I am going out to my local Community College to turn in my admissions application and my FAFSA application. (Free Application for Student Aid). Hopefully I will qualify and be awarded enough money in grants and whatever to be able to attend school full time.

And to the whopping 3 people who read my blog, yes I have resolved my issues with going back to school mentioned in the last post. I have settled on an Associates in Business Administration as well as an Associates in Liberal Studies (means I completed 90 credits worth of college level work) for the courses that don't fit into the business degree, like Japanese, history, or art. I haven't settled on a specialty for the business degree yet but the front runners are entrepreneurship and accounting.

Wish me luck!
