my previous statements about my financial aid being resolved timely and without any snags, proved to be quite true. i called my lender this morning to find that they were disbursing funds about one-fifth of those i had requested. this is because the university only approved that much. so, i had to go down to the financial aid office and tell them to call the lender, and tell them i need this money, because it is for more than just covering last semester's discrepencies.

"how much of the remaining amount do you want?"

"ALL OF IT! ALL OF IT! ALL OF IT! GODDAMNIT! I NEED THAT MONEY! I WOULD PREFER NOT TO BE HOMELESS!"

of course my response was far more polite than that. i simply told tham that i needed that money to pay for my housing and to cover the gap in my tuition again this semester.

in much more pleasant news, chicago this weekend rocked. roscoe and i got hammered on both nights, and i saw the kentridge exhibit at the moca. it was amazing. it makes you fall in love with charcoal. and his animations were incredible. tripp, if you haven't seen any of these, do so. fucking incredible. the opening at the wood street gallery was awesome. the show looks great, and the space is phenomenal. a lot of people were there, and everyone had good things to say. i was picking up snippets of conversations about how much some people loved my work. it made me incredibly embarassed. i don't handle praise all that well. even though it felt damn good. roscoe and i went out with some of his friends, and their friends afterwards. it was great. a friend of roscoe's friend was a hottie too. she was super cool. way out of my league unfortunately. roscoe says he's going to hook me up. i'm not keeping my fingers crossed.

and now i've got to get everything together for michigan state tomorrow. this is fairly disorganized, but i am getting excited/nervous about giving a lecture there. i'm going to shitting in my pants on thursday. fuck! i have to run more errands now, and i haven't eaten anything today. damn lousy errands.
