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 I was told to apply for the FAFSA within 10 business days, or be withdrawn from classes.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
January 10. Twenty days had passed!

I met with Mr Heaster today and I discovered it was an error by the school – the FAFSA is only for US students, not for international students like me. I hurried off an email to my Dad – at least to allay his fears.

I also applied for a job from the Student Life office today. I hope I get one with lots of coding – or at least one in which I’ll be around computers a lot. I’m not sure I’ll like one that doesn’t put me close to machines.
