frustration!

I have had the longest two days of my life it seems like! Everyone tells me that stress is not good for the baby, but what else can you do when your classes start Sat. and you are told on Tuesday that your classes are going to be dropped because you didn't get your loan?!?

I had gone back and forth with RVC's financial aid department to see how i could get money for school this semester. Oh yeah can't get money from the government cause we make to much according to them! So i applied for a student loan. I received all the info saying the i got the loan and i thought everything was fine. WELL, i called yesterday to see if i could use that for my books and what i would need to bring and they looked up my account and said that i didn't get it because i didn't fill out a form. NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE FORM!!

it was 5:30 and they said if i got there before 6 to fill this form out my classes wouldn't be cancelled. I got there with 3 minutes to spare, filled out the paper and left. so today when i called to make sure that my classes were still there they told me that my file didn't get on the desk until this afternoon so it wouldn't be processed today and my classes would be dropped.

i was explaining my situation to the women on the phone and she said that she didn't know what to tell me she "just answers the phone". I told her that that is like someone sitting behind a customer service desk and saying "I don't know how to help, i just sit here".

annoyed and stressed i asked to talk to the director, she wasn't in. i asked to talk to someone who could be of some help and i was transferred to voicemail. so i didn't give up i continued to call until i was talking to the person that i need to. he wasn't really happy to talk to me at first because he had 80 files that he still needed to go through.

I told him that i would not except anything other then getting my loan and my classes and that he needed to make that happen. so after 10 minutes of him telling me "no, there are no exceptions to the order of files", he opened my account and fix it in about 3 minutes. now that didn't seem so hard did it :)

i can breath easy again because i will be starting back to school on saturday. all is well.

This is the first week back to work after break and i am so tired. i can't wait til friday. we are having our winter party then because we had a snow day the day that we were suppose to have it.

*Pregnancy update*

It's amazing to me how fast it seems to be going. I really didn't expect to be having clothes be uncomfortable already, but they are! I do not need to get maternity clothes yet, but i can't wear certain clothes. My friend at work who is a month ahead of me is in maternity clothes. they are so expensive to wear for such a short period of time.

some of my kids at school have made comments to me. The ones that you don't think listen or take in anything are usually the kids who surprise you! i haven't told any of the kids. i don't know if i am going to tell them. mostly because i don't think that they would really care that much :)

We did get the calender choices for next year and i am very happy that we are not starting til Sept. 1. I mean yes, it does suck that we will get out the second week in June, but i am due Aug. 7th and that would give me about 3 weeks before school starts and then i have 6 weeks of maternity leave....that they don't pay for which i think is bogus! but that means i would be going back in october. which would be fine with me :)

10 weeks along and happy :)
