Autobliography...
i invented this term last night as i was falling asleep, and i decided it definitely needs to be promptly added to the english language. i'm too tired to go into much detail right now, but basically i love my financial counselor. she explained i had done a part of the FAFSA totally wrong by calculating in all the tuition, fees, books, school supplies, etc. into the estimate of money that was given to me last year (aka, mommy and daddy helped pay undergrad... thank you!). soooooo... the FAFSA people looked at it and thought i had a whole lot of money gifted to me in the past year, so my expected financial contribution was over twice the money i own. glad i asked!!!! so as soon as i thought my dad would be home from work tonight i called him, we reworked the figure, and now it's less than half our original figure. we corrected it and my NEW expected contribution is.... drumroll please... $1,234. WOWZA!!! HUGE difference from before. my financial advisor said i was just about $900 over the limit for getting a grad school grant and was hopeful that i could get below that figure by reworking this section. well i went several thousand below. absolutely freaking incredible! i was bouncing off the walls and am going to try to take off a little early again tomorrow in hopes that i can somehow squeeze the financial aid office in between work and school. wednesday is my day from hell, but if i get free money in the form of grants then it will suddenly be a worthwhile day again. ok, exhausted so g'night! i promise i'll get a better update up shortly. and i'll even consider using capitals again. we'll see...
P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
