Bad Mood

Bad mood.

In a bad mood this evening I suppose. It's purely my fault in the end, though surely others in the world contribute to it. I'm underfunded for financial aid for grad school. The city I'm in is expensive, and there's an upper limit so things get stretched. Predictably, my school was late disbursing financial aid this summer, so I don't yet have my check. I learned today I bounced an important check (my rent check). Probably other checks out there might get bounced. It's no one's fault but my own, and I'm willing to live with it. I also started running the numbers on my debt and it's pretty amazing. And I'm graduating a semester early.

But all of that to say, it left me without my usual energy and jump in my step. I know over the long term this stuff will be worked out. But over the short term it's a bit painful (and expensive) and a bit scary. But I need only survive another 6 months of school and then 2 months for exam preparation. Then it is out into the working world I go. . .

And ironically, I weighed in at 222 (I think) today. My lowest weight in years. Unfortunately, the black cloud of my financial situation has overshadowed that accmoplishment.
