Problems resolved :)

Hello everyone,
there is good news and bad news on todays blog... First the good news! Well am I happy to inform you that my financial aid will come through and that I will be staying in Puerto Rico till the end of the semester. :) And now for the bad news... my internet or my laptop, or possibly both are not working. What does this mean? This means, primarily, no pictures and probably less blogging from me. :( And I wanted to show some pictures of Ponce, the city we went to visit this past friday... But I will try to make extra effort to come on the internet to post up blogs at least. (because I will not deny that once on the internet... I can get pretty distracted and not do my assigned readings... so I do try to avoid it) Especially this week with 3 midterms going on! I have one EVERY day!! ah!! I thought I could handle it with the studying I did over the weekend but.. now I've realized how tiring and stressful it is, and how important a good sleep and meal is... I am so tired already mentally and physically. But I got one more midterm tomorrow, the last one. Only 50 plus questions more to go.. :(

Crisis

So I am having a bit of a crisis here in Sagrado. My financial aid may come in late and it may not even cover my whole costs here, sense I did transfer schools, I owe money at the first university and now full tuition here. :( I have talked with my dad and well, he said that if my financial does not come through I must make arrangments to go home.... Of course hearing this broke my heart, but I also understand that my parents have no money to give me. And after discussing it with the people closets to me, I know that if I leave now, I do not leave empty handed. The trip has had its impacts on me.
I've observed and discovered new things about my self and about the education field. With education being my major I have come to acknowledge 4 things I would love to bring into my future classroom, (of which these 4 things I will not mention here :) because its going to be in my application essay)  but that will greatly benefit my students. :)
I do of course wish to stay to get the even more out of the trip and gain some more practice with my Spanish, but I've cried it all out, I've thought about it, and now I will just wait and see what happens next.
