Big news!! Apparently it wasn't my incompetence in my Spanish class last semester that threw my whole financial status under the bus!! ....here is what happened [or at least what the financial aid office informed me happened!]
...last January I had no idea what I'd be doing once the semester was over! I didn't know if I was going to stay in Kentucky for the summer, go to Chicago, California...etc........sooo, in light of that I had registered for a math class that was held over the summer break. [I decided if I was going to be here, I was going to put it to good use at least!!] Then once I decided to go up to Crystal Lake, I had thought I dropped the class...and went on my merry little way! Then about a month into the summer, I just randomly decided to check my school email, for no reason really....and had gotten a handful of emails from my professor, telling me that she was withdrawing me from the class since I had missed more than 4 already! Much to my shock, I immediately wrote her back informing her I had no idea I was even enrolled in it any longer, and asked her to withdraw me right away! ...................Sooooooooooo......the reason my pell grant fell through this semester was because I had an incomplete because of that class. The finance guy said everything from last semester was just fine and my GPA was fine too, regardless of my Spanish class. Then he told me the really good news!!
All I have to do is write a letter to some people in charge of the grants and explain to them what happened and that I will get the government funding back within just a few weeks!!! [And there was much rejoicing!!!]
Needless to say, it was a wonderful way to begin the semester!! Classes were pretty rockin' too! :)
It's gonna be a great school year for sure, I can feel it!
I am also so thankful that God just worked all this out for me!! It's definitely going to save me some change! :)
