Scare

Date: January 30th, 2006

Yesterday my Dad and I got a scare from the student financial aid office. I was told to apply for the FAFSA within 10 business days, or be withdrawn from classes. Of course my Dad was very worried considering the letter arrived Nigeria two days ago and was dated

Goings On
