Alright to get rid of the worst stuff first. My school financial aid is still mess and unresolved which make me nervous. Mental health wise I think its taking its toll but I'm still not sure how to process this problem as it has been a reality check for me. It puts a lot of uncertainty in what I want to do in the future but can't think about that right now.

Positive stuff now. There's a chance that I will be reactivating the school paper and I'm really excited for reasons other than it being a resume builder. First I get to be head of a paper and something that people actually see and read rather than just some obscure club. Second I get to practice my writing skills which are are really important to me right now and lastly I get to be involved with journalism in general which has always been an interest. A related Ted Talk:

And the paper that Andrew Jaspan started with "Academic rigor, journalistic flair": http://theconversation.com/uk

Another positive is that I got a small scholarship (not enough to fully pay off the tuition) so I get to go to a small personal dinner with professors and other recipients so I'm excited for that. I think that's it for now.
