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.

That all sounds amazing! Have you called Jaqueline yet?
That is so awesome!
Hey Diamond!! I miss you girl! I love that you update your blog frequently! I loved hearing about camp and that you are on your way to college!!! SO EXCITING!
I have also felt a great loss with Michael's death. Sometimes I believe we can "know" a person through his music, and I was/am a HUGE fan of him and his talent. He's in a better place...right?!
LOVE YA!!!
