Good girl gone bad

I'm not going to go into any sort of explanation, but I'll just say I've been a bad, bad girl. I've always been the good girl throughout school and amongst my friends and social circles. Plus, I look 5-8 years younger than I really am, further boosting my angelic persona.

However, in the words of the poster child of "good girl gone bad", Brittany Spears (really Rihanna should've put a pic of Brit on the album cover), "I'm not that innocent."

I proved to be guilty this weekend. And that's all imma say!!

On another note, and more law school related, I'm relieved and excited because I asked my grandparents for help with buying a new laptop for law school this weekend (wait...is it bad that I asked my grandfather for a laptop on father's day? Probably. Oh well...) and they said yes! So I get to go computer shopping this week to present a few options to them. This is a big load off my shoulders as money issues are running rapid (see previous post). Gotta love grandparents!! :-)

Money! I need it!

After a long, long hiatus, I returned back to work today. I'm a substitute teacher, so its not like I was missed, but I need to go back to work because I desperately need cash. I'm moving across the U.S. in a month and I need money! I'm already feeling the crunch since I found an apartment and had to send in my security deposit. And by August 1st, I'm going to need the first month's rent and I am quite sure my financial aid will not disperse into my account by then. Not to mention I need to pay for my plane ticket, books, and a computer....

Why cant money get disbursed a few weeks BEFORE school starts? That never made any sense to me. Especially since sometimes there are minor/major roadblocks to disbursement that don't present themselves until time of disbursement and so sometimes you have to wait another 2 more weeks until the kinks are worked out. Take my whack graduate school's disbursement for example in which it took me 3 semesters to learn that I have to call them a few weeks before disbursement just to make sure everything is on schedule...and sometimes even still I ran into issues. Hopefully my financial aid woes will not follow me to law school. In a city I have never lived in. And my immediate family is not there. It can be very stressful and time consuming; and I think I will need to save that stress for my law studies. As a matter of fact, after I send my "official" transcripts (since LSDAS transcripts aren't "official" enough *eye roll*) to my school I think I will give financial aid a courtesy call....

my monthly bad day

Cramps. Nuff said.
