Well wasn't that fun? Now you all know a little bit more about me, nothing substantial though ha well maybe I will write some deep post about me someday but for now that will do!
So what is new with me? Well not too much. I did not eat well this week at all, stress seems to be such a bad trigger for me. As you all know I applied for teachers college and got in, which was probably the most exciting thing ever as it is so hard to get in here. So I applied for a student loan (it is called OSAP) here. It gave me my estimate which was perfect and I thought all was well. So then a couple days later I went online to see my status and saw this "You are currently restricted from getting OSAP, call the office to see what you can do about this"........this is when I had a complete panic or anxiety or stress or some sort of attack. If I do not get OSAP, I do not go to school bottom line. School is going to cost about 14000 and I only have about 6000 so no that is not going to get me there. I do not know why I would be restricted, there was a list of reasons and I do not feel like I fit any of them. I have no defaulted on my previous loans or anything so I am really hoping it is just that I was supposed to call them to tell them I am returning to school after being off for a year. Ofcourse this happens on a Friday night so I could not call right away and have to wait until Tuesday because it is a holiday here! UGH, so first thing in the morning I will call. I am so scared because if they tell me I truly cannot get it, I cannot go to school. I do not know what I will do then. I would have a complete breakdown! I WANT to teach, it is what I have wanted to do since I was a kid. I hope it all works out.
ANYWAYS other than that, nothing much new here. Seems to be one crap thing after the other this year, ever since K and I moved to this new city things have not gone well, but I am looking forward to going to school (hopefully) and then moving back to my hometown, I think it is where I belong. So it is just a bad period I guess! I have planned out everything I am going to eat this week which I have never done, so we will see if it works out, I stuck to todays so 1 down and 6 to go! I need to get more creative with my cooking and realize that just because K is not home does not mean I cannot make a nice dinner. I also plan on going to the gym 4 times this week, this is huge people. I have not gone well since ... I do not know I think maybe 2009? I usually do at home workouts but I want to go to the gym so 4 times will be huge, lets see if I can do it! I plan to do 30 mins cardio (15 treadmill, 15 elliptical) and then 30 mins in the pool! So I will keep you all updated if I actually pull this off, this would be the first time in my whole life to go 4 times in one week so it may not sound like much to you guys but it is huge to me! Tomorrow I weigh in at WW I am not expecting a loss. But next week, oh there will be one!!
Happy Tuesday tomorrow all and make sure to watch the Biggest Loser finale!!!!!!!!!!

Hoping your funding comes through. I'm sure it will :) I am in the same boat but in N.S, the loan applications are not available yet...
ReplyDeleteoh I just had all kinds of nightmares this semester with my financial aid at school. ugh! I bet it's a mistake and they will get it fixed you would know if there was a reason. Keep us updated!
ReplyDeleteLauren, Hope your school funding sorts itself out. An excellent decision pursuing something you have had a passion for since childhood. Good to hear you have a plan for being healthy this week. Be sure and put some thought to being more creative with meals if you feel you need to. I have found that I can get bored quick and being creative is a must for me to keep my mind motivated each day. Go gett'em Lauren!
ReplyDeleteThat's so annoying about the funding, keep us updated once you find out what's going on. I bet they'll be able to work it out for you!
ReplyDeleteYou have an awesome plan for the week, I know you can stick to it and you'll see such fantastic results on the scale that you'll want to do it again next week!!
