I just got an e-mail from one of my classmates from the previous quarter about a book that I'm looking for so that I don't have to buy it from the bookstore for $100. She's planning on selling hers for $65, which is totally fine with me, but I'm worried that I won't be able to get it from her before I need it. I don't know how I'm going to handle that, but I guess I'll just have to figure it out. She gave me her # so I can call her and maybe arrange to pick it up later this week if she'll be in Lima.
But, I still haven't gotten any word on my financial aid. I went and talked to someone on our campus about it yesterday and he said that he was going to call down to Columbus and ask them if they can process my fin. aid now and do the same for a couple of other people. I just hope that I didn't do something wrong on the application or miss something that they needed for the verification audit thingy. I'm so afraid that I'm not going to be able to take these classes this summer and that's going to set me behind a little. I hate the idea of taking classes over the summer instead of enjoying my break, but I would hate it even more to have to take 4 or 5 classes for each of my remaining quarters instead.

I really wanted to do something fun this summer, but it doesn't look like that will happen. The closest that I'll have to fun is planning the over-night getaway for Mom and Dad sometime next month. All I really have to do is book the hotel and make sure everyone who wants to give them anything has their stuff to me before the day of. There really isn't much left to do because I've already found the hotel that has a room with a hot tub in it, so that's done.
Mom and Dad really deserve a vacation, especially right now, but I think 1 night is about all that they can spend right now. Mom works every day and Dad really isn't up to doing a whole lot in a day just yet. They never really had a honeymoon so I figured I'd do something nice for them for their anniversary this year. Unfortunately, their actual anniversary falls at a pretty bad time, especially since Dad's on a break from chemo right now, so he'll probably be back on by the time their anniversary comes around. So, I figured that I would set the date for their over-night sometime at the end of his break so that he'll be feeling the best that he can and hopefully he'll be able to enjoy the evening.
I've never done anything like this and it's really exciting. I really hope that they get to enjoy it and have a wonderful time. And I'm really surprised at the amount of responses I got back from friends and family members that I sent an e-mail to about it a month ago. I'm so glad that they all want to be a part of this and I know it will mean so much to Mom and Dad. I'm afraid to tell my brothers about it, tho, because I fear that they'll "spill the beans" and spoil the surprise. So, I'll have to wait until a few days before to tell them and maybe that'll lower the odds that they'll spoil my plans. ;p
