Emotional Roller Coaster

Well at least is some good news to report, I got approved for my Graduate PLUS loan, no cosigner needed!!!! Yayyy! This is great news, I had forgotten about needing “pre-approval” for this loan then looked up how to do it. Apparently it was alot easier than I anticipated. I went to studentloans.gov logged in and clicked on request PLUS Loan. I filled out my address and information and within 10 seconds it said I was approved. Such a blessing!!! Now I’m still waiting on:

Dr. Leonatti - rabbit health certificates/USDA/bloodwork costs and location
Ross U Off Campus Housing - housing, did I get that apartment?
Ross U New Student Coordinator - rabbit food/hay/greens/litter

I wouldn’t mind knowing more details about shipping, one girl said it only cost her $130 to ship her stuff, that sounds good to me, even though I would have to get the barrel to Miami and pay a broker it could still be less stressful than trying to take it all on the plane. Simply because I will not have a ton of money to buy stuff once I get there and will need alot of the stuff I may otherwise have to leave at home (like my pull up bar :) ). We’ll hafta see. Biochem exam got delayed...AGAIN...so now she’s supposed to email me when it arrives on site so I can schedule it. Gives me more time to study but I’m ready to be done with it at this point. I want to be able to start studying for my classes for vet school, reading my last of leisure books (for the next 3.5 years), including one about study skills, which I think should come in quite handy.

Such a RELIEF!!! Man, so now I have my apartment solidified. I’ll be spending much more than i intended ($742 as opposed to $600-$700) just for rent plus utilities and internet. But its in the location I wanted! So yayyyyyy me! Still trying to figure out shipping, but it looks somewhat good. I got a plastic barrel from work and had maintenance cut the lid off, so hopefully I can ship my stuff in there if the price is right. I’m just so relieved to have a place to live. If need be, I could hitch a ride to get groceries, school is the most important!!! Pictures of the new place:
