I'm sick. I got sick on Saturday, December 29 while in Atlanta, and then it got a little better, but now it's worse again. In between that, Dan got sick. I think we may be playing Germ Tennis and passing this back and forth. We've decided that one of us should sleep in the guest room until neither of us is sick anymore.

I have a sinus headache that ibuprofen isn't touching at all. No fair!

Also, to make things more fun, I got my financial aid award letter from Cleveland State. The total including both kinds of loan doesn't even cover my tuition let alone any living expenses. There aren't any scholarships left to apply for for this semester. My mom said she isn't in a position to help me financially right now. I may have to drop out of college for a semester, which would suck so bad I can't even explain. For one thing, it would mean going and finding some sort of job for six months, which is a crappy thing to do to a business, in my opinion. Also, the last time I needed to find a job it took 4 months just to find one! Then, since I wouldn't be in school, I'd have to start paying my previous loans, so my expenses would go up. Then there's the matter of it pushing my graduation date another semester into the future (currently I should be finishing at about the same time as Dan does), which means that if Dan's residency is somewhere other than Cleveland, I won't be able to move with him. I'd have to stay behind for at least one more semester--and be paying the rent and utilities on this place by myself. There is just a whole mountain of suck in the situation. I have one week until classes start.

I haven't started to panic yet, but that's only because I'm sick and don't have the energy to panic.
