The woes of financial aid mix ups!

So its the 2 week holiday during school, and I am still at school :(  The financial aid I was supposed to get over a month ago still hasnt come through leaving me to survive off of what I make at my 8 hour week job.  So instead of going to New Zealand or the Whitsundays like most of my friends I am stuck at school in Newcastle with barely anyone around.    I have been pretty bored for the first couple of days, and have tried to keep myself busy, but I find myself in the constant company of 3 boys, as they are the only friends I have left here!  One has a broken foot!  So we have been playing video games and watching movies.  We rented the olympics video game!  Pretty fun.  Im the best at cycling so far!  But I am tired of video games so the game plan to keep myself busy this 2 week holiday is to get a month membership at the on campus gym, and get my work out on... I also want to explore the campus, there are a couple of trails around here!  And one of the Aussie girls invited me home for a few days so im going to try and go see her!

Other then that, my last week of school before the break was pretty uneventful.  I spent most of my time working on 3 different Essays, and a presentation paper.  I also have a big group project coming up, so im getting ready to work with a group on that!

And other then that I am badgering the financial aid office with the help of my mother because they are not being helpful at all.  

Hopefully I will have a fun update for you soon.  Im sure I will find an adventure of my own!  A cheap/ even free adventure! 

Cheers for now!

Are you able to work anymore? Or do they have work-study?

Take pictures of the campus and report back! That'll fill at least 2-3 hours of your day!
