I did buy a book!... NOT

So amazing just stopped myself from buying another book online... i really don't know what crazy force prevented me from doing it... but it's probably the first time i haven't just gone and bought a book without thinking about it. I guess it could be the fact that i've purchased about 4 books in the past two weeks? haha Usually that doesn't stop me from constantly buying books all summer long... but it's probably the fact that i don't have a job yet [STILL] that really pulled me back this time.

Ah, in some good news though... today i went to see the scarrrry financial aid office at RPI -- and it actually wasn't all that terrible. The lady i met with was really nice and sympathetic to my situation... it even sounded as if she wants to help me get granted the money i would need to stay and finish a different degree here!!  [amazing! i am always afraid of financial aid]... but in reality i think the only scary person in that building is the meanest girl in the world who sits at the registrar's desk on the bottom floor... i walked in the other day to get credit for my hs Spanish class and the Photography class i took at SUNY Albany last summer [suny alb is soooo awesoommmeeeee... people there are so chill and nice vs. the outtogetyou rpi students].... anddd this girl just completely shuts me out.... no help at all just says "no" and eats some weight loss shit [even tho she weighs like 70 lbs]... and when i ask her why she acts like i'm completely wasting her time [even though i walked in and she wasn't doing anythinnng... anddd there was absolutely no one else in the line but me]. Sooo yea... strange events here: financial aid = nice & helpful; student registrar secretary = mean bitch; christianna = did not buy a book today.... very strange...

p.s. alsooo, the fin aid lady said that i cannn stay for an extra semester or 2, but it has to be reviewed by a board.... and while this is really good news.... it just makes my decision between architecture and philosophy at a standstill... i mean with either choice i'll have the aid and the time to finish... but now i have to figure out which path i really want to taaake......
