Vortexia's Secret

sucks. i just spent my entire morning and afternoon on the stupid loan stuff, and of course, dealing with multiple computer crashes. i searched for a lender, i read through their stuff, i found one that had a good deal, only to find that it contradicted itself, and they didn't even know what they offered, so i had to find another one, do the entrance counseling, read over the terms and conditions of handing over my life, the details of how i would be burned at the stake if i failed to hold up any part of my bargain, chose a lender that will hopefully be decent, etc etc. i love the kind, blunt langauge that they use in the loan process: "if you die, the loan will be cancelled." oh yay, what with all that dying i did, i wasn't able to continue working on a regular basis and was at risk of defaulting on the loan i got 8 years ago. sheesh. i'm still not even sure if the school will get my money in time for the summer session. sadly, i did all of this in order to finish my schooling, so i can be underpaid, under-appreciated, and overworked for the rest of my life. yay me.

oh well... hopefully i'll get to pack up and go play in the sun for a couple days now. i didn't want this loan stuff hanging over my head, which is why i had to work it all out this morning and afternoon. but before i go, a good thing... i got the chance to catch up with a couple good friends recently. seems like i've been living in a cave this past semester with barely enough time to take a breath, but luckily these old friendships are stronger than one bad semester. ok, packing it all up and heading on out. if you have my cell you can get in touch... if you don't i guess you'll have to leave loving and adoring comments and/or emails for me to get when i reach the internet again. not exactly sure when that will be, but i may write updates to post when i return to an internet connection. be on the lookout for back dated or extra long posts for multiple days. you know i can't go too long without writing! until then...

P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
