So my parents and I drove up to Howard today, and THANK GOD it turned out to be a pretty successful day. First place we went was to RES. LIFE. I spoke with Mr. Harris(just in case you wanted to know for your own personal use) and he placed me in a dorm within MINUTES! Seriously...It's not the dorm that I would have probably chosen for myself, but HEY, "BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS" RIGHT? I've been placed in Meridian which is about 9 blocks from campus...I'm going to try to get switched, but at least now I have a foot in the door compared to before when I was S.O.L. ya know! We also went to the fin. aid office and I learned about a Donor Scholarship. Not really sure about all the info concerning it, but I met a girl who is a Senior there and she told me to make sure I filled it out and turned it in that day. Also a woman who works in the department said is on a first come first serve, need basis. So I filled it out, couldn't hurt right? I really hope that you are coming this semester, b/c I know how it feels to be in the situation. I cried and I prayed and GOD did bring me through it. I feel more at ease now. Good luck with everything, and I'm still here to rant and rave to if necessary? Oh one more thing, have you made a decision to attend or not?

I'm not going. I got into a really good school here though, just so I could start somewhere. My tuition is paid for and I got and apartment on campus which is nice. I got a one bedroom apt. so I'm not sharing with anybody. So, I'm looking at it like things happen for a reason. HU is just in the future not the present.
