Financial Aid Freakout

I'm extremely on edge right now, but not just because of finals. I can't make final preparations (of which there are about a million) until my financial aid comes through. I'm still waiting to hear about my Graduate Plus loan which I applied for on December 1st. I'm supposed to leave in a little over a month and I have to sell all of my stuff by the end of December when I officially move out of my house. I also have to sell my car and I have no idea how long that will take. I need to buy plane tickets. I need to find a place to live in NYC. There is so much to do. This list is endless! I just need notification that my loans came through.

I sent an email today to the financial aid office at Cardozo. Hopefully I get a response. I think the woman I have been talking to is slightly annoyed with me because I am always contacting her to ask questions and hurry things along if possible.

On the housing side of things, I've applied to live at a place called The Markle. I was preliminarily approved and they say they have a place for me. It requires a $200 fee to reserve it though, so I'm not going to do that until I know for sure that I'm moving. Also, my friend Sara knows someone who lived there before and that person didn't like it, so now I'm hesitant. This girl said that its a bunch of really low-income people. I still think it might be better than finding some random roommate on Craigslist. The real solution that I want is to get into the Cardozo dorms. The application fee is $300 though so I won't apply there either until my financial aid comes through.

It all comes down to the financial aid. I need to hear soon! Its driving me crazy!
