My aunt who was going to help me get the things I needed for college, is unable to. And unfortunately, I only have 4 weeks before I am off to college. I feel like the universe is conspiring against me. So as a last resort I am hoping that someone in blogger land can help. I have a list of things that I need and if you can help me out in getting it I will really appreciate it. But if you can not I understand. Right now things are tight here in America.
The list
Plastic shower tote (optional)
Alarm Clock
Umbrella
Roll of quarters
Tape recorder
first aid kit
can opener
Study Supplies:
Back pack
pens
collegiate dictionary

It's official
I am officially on my way to Southern Virginia university!
I yesterday I received the acceptance letter in the mail and was thrilled. However, I was a bit terrified because it is for the fall semester and I was unsure as to how I am going to pay for it. Then I got the surprise of my life! I called them today to see what I had to do to have the semester switched over to Spring (January) because I wouldn't be ready to go in August. The guy asked why and I said financially I am unable. Then he asked had I seen my financial aid report and I said no. He rattled off all of these grants, loans, and scholarships. Pell Grant for 5,600, academic scholarships for 4,000, a scholarship for books 800, and 3 loans for 13,000 ( and only one that comes with taxes and I can choose to pay as I go or defer it to later). They are also going to help me get down there.
I just might be able to go in August. I just have to pay the $250 registration fee and that goes to the housing fee instead of paying another $250. I also have to buy the things I need for the dorm.
I am so excited and scared at the same time. However, I know that if Heavenly Father wants me there in August that is where I am going to be.

An apology
I felt that it is only right that I apologize to some people that I offended with my last post.
I don't have much time to say everything that I want to say so I will just say the important stuff.
I did not mean to offend or hurt anyone. That was never my intention. I did not try to get anything out of anyone and definitely did not try to deceive anyone.
I did know MJ and I didn't tell ANYONE about it because me and my sister got beat up everyday we went to elementary school because my sister told a girl we knew him and this was a few years after the first molestation case. So I started not trusting anyone because I was afraid it would continue, even my best friend didn't know.
I went to Neverland twice, once when I was 5 and a year later both times I was with my sister. I didn't tell anyone about that because to be honest I didn't remember. My mom and sister were the ones to bring it up and I started remembering some of the things. You see after I huge incident with my family, I pretty much blanked out my childhood. After my sister and mom told me about it, I began remembering some things like: how nice he and his family were, how big Neverland was, and how much financial troubles we were in. My mom said that we went because we were about to lose the house and my parents were too prideful to take money from MJ, so he said fine then let the girls come to Neverland while you sort some things out. We stayed both times for 2 or 3 days. My sister said that I was so shy that when anyone l would talk to me, I would start crying and run to her. I of course don't remember any of it.
Anyway I again apologize to those who were angry at my post. I never intended it to be that way. Once I remembered about Neverland I guess I should have come to you, but I was just as stunned as you were.
For anyone who was angry about something other than the Neverland stuff, I apologize to you as well. You are a good friend and I never meant to write something that would make you angry. I was not angry at you or your family when I wrote the post. I was actually happy, I had the best time at camp.
And to those who helped me get to camp, I want you to know that I really appreciate it.
