First of all I feel so much better because I found out that I get a $8500 subsidized loan. This means that I can survive comfortably for the next two years here at IU. I don't have to be poor!! Most of all, this is important because it means I'm taking care of myself. For once I don't need to rely on dad to bail me out. I know it's a loan, and loans are never good. I know I have to pay it off, but I'm so happy that there is no interest until 6 months after I graduate. I can totally handle that. It just feels great because the financial stress was the only thing in the way of having a truly amazing experience here.
I have been loving my job. I just got done with our first Executive Meeting. I loved that I got to look professional today!
Yeah... real professional :-)
Anyway, it went well and apparently we had really good attendance and great issues to bring to the table. I felt so validated for my work, which is hard to find in most employment. This meeting was the catalyst to the year. Now I know so much more and have so many things I can work on.
A lot has been going on here on campus. I've been to quite a few resource fairs and have had my fair share of free pizza. It's also been raining so much!! Sometimes it trickles, sometimes it pours! I'm getting the hang of the buses. I even visited the library to check out a book for the first time. It's a really good school. I'm finding my way.
We had another HESA cohort dinner at Lenny's and it was nice to actually say. Hey I can afford this! It rained super hard on this day!! I had the craziest create your own Stromboli. It was delicious :-)
School has been slowly getting more busy. I have many projects coming pretty fast. I have several group meetings, lots of reading (as always), a couple papers, lots of research, and a video to watch. I think we are all feeling it. Danielle doesn't play games. She works us. Haha... But I really like all our assignments. We have to create our own theory soon. While I don't exactly know what I'll do. I'm excited and scared at the same time. Excited because I really have so many choices and interests. Scared because it's going to require a ton of research. And that word just intimidates me. With all this said, I still feel like I'm doing well. I may have a lot on the plate, but I'm actually not half bad at this stuff. I don't feel like it's out of my league.
So today I'm shopping for the costume of Michael's birthday party tomorrow with a group of HESA friends. I want to find some small neon clothes. I also want glitter! These are my goals for the party.
So while, it may be raining pretty hard here in Bloomington. I have an attitude that is so positive that I have my own little umbrella. In a metaphoric way.
Smiling as always,
Cameron
