Get to Work

It is time to get serious about catching up and trying to get ahead now. I hope to make speedy progress through the next few books. Technically I am right on schedule, but with a financial aid battle looming ahead and then the busy fall semester, we are getting into panic attack season.

Every semester I play this game with the financial aid office. They say I am going to get loads of cash, then they say I am getting nothing. I get in turn excited, and devastated, fight and cry and yell, they tell me, okay okay, you will get a little tiny bit. I get relieved. Then the give me a ton of cash in tiny enough increments, that I still get behind in bills, so all the "extra' is used for late fees. I love college. Well, evidently this is the time when a ton is promised, but there is an 'issue" so I can't get it. They can't tell you anything on the phone, they can't answer email and in person, they say, well, you are all set....no holds showing up here. And when you get home, there is a big red sentence about a hold on your account. argh.

I did finish And Then There Were None last night. It was an easy good read, that took me weeks to finish for some reason. (Harry Potter distractions.)

Crime and its punishment has always fascinated me. I enjoying reading every kind of detective story and thriller. I have devised for my own private amusement the most ingenious ways of carrying out a murder. And Then There Were None- Agatha Christie
