Well, FINALLY!
Ricci arrived here in the morning and we left to school. I put gas at Aziz–can you believe how fricken expensive gas is right now? I put gas at $2.39 this morning, and when I was driving home this evening it was at $2.43! It’s just ridiculous!
Mayra didn’t go to school today. We (Lucy and I) were kind of worried but when I spoke to her later I found out why. Lucy and I had a talk about a certain situation during one of our breaks and well, we’re both pretty fed up about something. Can’t mention exactly what because who knows who reads this thing. But anyway.
I rushed home after school to pick up Mom, John and the boys since John had his appointment for enrolling at school at 1:30 (I get out at 12). Mom had already gotten the boys ready, I made them a quick lunch of Easy Mac and chocolate milk really quick, packed up their DSs and left.
We made it just in time. John’s advisor was my advisor, Marivel, and I was just thrilled. She’s so sweet and just a really nice and cheerful person. John went through the whole process—where they interview you to determine just how interested and motivated you are to go to that school. We had to leave for an hour while the Financial Aid people were out but when they came back, we continued with the appointment. My boys behaved angelically. Mary called at around 4 p.m. and offered to pick the boys up and take them home with her.
We continued with the Financial Aid process which took an eternity. It felt much longer than when I enrolled. I stood for about an hour because the lady who was helping John was extremely rude and didn’t even offer to get another chair for me. The least she could have done was tell me to drag another chair from another cubicle so I could sit. She needs to take the Customer Service class, darnit.
We almost got into a car accident when we were on our way home. Thank God I didn’t have the kids with me. Some geniuses were transporting a house ON THE EXPRESSWAY which kept causing cars to come to screeching halts for some reason.
I got home just in time to grab all the library books the kids and I checked out and returned them. I checked my two out again since I never finished The Devil Wears Prada.
When I get home again Mary tells me how Yadira’s blood pressure was high and that she might just have the baby tomorrow! It’s horrible that the reason she might have the C-section so soon is because she’s getting sick, but at the same time it’s so exciting to think there’ll be a new baby soon!
I went along with Mary, Noelia, Jose and Elda to help clean Yadira’s house since she’s really not in the physical condition to be doing housework. The poor thing can barely move—her tummy’s so big!
I find it so easy to organize other people’s houses, but when it comes to my own house I just can’t figure out where to put anything. I REALLY have to clean up the house this weekend. I don’t have any plans for Saturday and Sunday so I’m planning to spend one day cleaning and one day just relaxing; maybe watching TV or reading on the couch.
Mario was a saint and ordered pizza, cheese sticks, wings, a Pepsi, and rented some movies. I did not feel like making dinner. I still have to put my school shirts in to wash and I still have to take a shower but my legs are so sore (stupid Financial Aid lady!) that I have no strength to get up.
Oh my gosh, I wonder if my mom filled out the Sallie Mae form?! I sure hope so. I can’t believe I’ve spent all of Eenan’s Spring Break running errands and totally not having a break. I feel so exhausted. I’m just glad my current class is pretty easy and doesn’t add any extra stress to my day.
But then, I do have a final next Monday….

Yea, financial aid services can totally suck and take forever! I am glad that you were there with John to assist him, even if the lady was extremely rude. I have a mess too and spent our Spring Break just bumming. I hope that you do get to rest and do well on your final. Good luck and take care!
