I am officially, in debt $22,650.00!!!!

So, let me just say...there is a lack of pink font in this thing!!! Anyways, Sooooo yesterday I registered for FIDM!!! Oh man, I was a little nervous, I took the train there, which took me about 45 minutes, and then I walked out of the train station at 7th and Hope St. and didn't know where to go! But I saw a lady who looked like she knew where she was going. and i asked her where Grand was. she said it was two blocks that way. She then asked me where i was going to, and I told I was on my way to FIDM, and she said that she was going there as well. So I walked with her, and we talked a little bit, she was one of the professors for footwear design. She was a really nice lady. She told me not to walk under this little alcove thing because the birds hang out in there and people get pooped on. So we walked to a different entrance, that led us through the park a little bit, and I LOVE parks!! So I had to check in with these ladies sitting at a table in front of the elevators, and then they gave me a name tag and sent me to the 5th floor, room 500. I waited in another line, then got another piece of paper, and was then sent to the 4th floor to talk to a financial aid counselor. In the meantime, I waited in a few other places, and talked to the girls around me, they were all very nice, however, none of them were taking my major, so I will probably never see them again. Oh well, i don't even remember their names. we just talked to pass the time, not to make friends.
Eventually I had to go in and see a counselor who signed me up for the classes I needed. So here is my schedule as follows for the first quarter:

Mondays:

Survey of Western Art 1 (8:30-11:15)
Survey of Visual Communications (12pm-2:45)
Math Skills (3pm-5:45)

Wednesdays:

English Comp (12pm-2:45)
Color and Design (3pm-5:45)

So, Mondays are going to be LLLOOOOOONNNGGG days!! 11 hours total! That's including the train rides to and from school which both are about an hour.

So that's it! I am super excited!!! I will keep you updated!!!

I'm in a purple mood right now....So I am starting school soon! At FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising). I am so very very excited! I took out a $20,000 loan from Sallie Mae, and then another like subsidized Stafford loan or something, I am not really sure to be honest. But I am going to school, a fancy school at that!!!
I register for classes March 27, and then I have an orientation on April 2nd, and then classes start on April 4th!!!! I almost want to scream i am so excited, nervous, happy, scared, everything!!! I want to ask Amanda Pants if she'd like to come to orientation with me. I know how much she loves that school. I really can't wait at all. I get to take the train, and be involved and just learn!
I was looking around on Yahoo! Jobs yesterday, and I looked up "fashion", and there were a lot of places hiring for merchandisers that I would LOVE to work at! like Zara or H&M would be my DREAM!!!!!!!! I am so excited for the opportunities that await me, and the experiences. i want to try and utilize all that FIDM really has to offer me. I want to try and study abroad with them, or just work with amazing people and teachers and everything!
I talked to my admissions adviser, who seriously, is the greatest person I have ever met! When I was applying and I had my interview to get in, she wrote the sweetest recommendation for me, I almost cried. I seriously call like once a week to make sure that everything is ready for me to register. I wasn't sure how the loan thing went cause it's being disbursed in separate installments, so i wasn't sure if that would hold me up or not. But it's not. She said i am totally ready. I don't even know where I got my other loan from. i should probably find that out. I will call her tomorrow and ask. or i will look through my files that I have at home so I can see how much I got from wherever else I got it. i think I got it from college loan xpress or something. I am not sure to be honest. But I think I maybe have out more than I need, which is what I wanted to do so that way I can put the extra into my savings in case something happens; i thought about taking out a loan for like $3000 or $500 to keep for savings. Ya never know what could happen to my car or something like that. And I won't be working as much, so I need to be careful with money. And I thought I was going to have to do like 3 weekdays a week, which is not enough work for me. And the Sena, my adviser, said I could take a class on a Saturday! So I am going to totally try and do that cause if I can only go to school 2 weekdays, than I can work more.
But once I start going there, I think I am going to look for a fashion related part time job. Something that will help me when i graduate. Hopefully I can get like assistant merchandiser at the new H&M in Costa Mesa or at Zara or something. I wish to God that I hadn't skipped out on Urban like I did, I could totally go back there and work as asst. merchandiser. and that would rule. Oh well, we all make mistakes. or maybe even at American Apparel. I just need to make sure I will be making enough money.
If Will doesn't get into school at UCI, then he will move out to Long Beach with me, and hopefully get a really good paying job, so that way when we move in together, he can cover most of the rent and utilities and what not. I mean obviously I will work, but I know that he will understand what I am going through and support me the best he can.
I am just so excited and nervous about this. It is going to be wonderful. I am just going to keep praying so that God will help me out, cause I'm going to need it!
