How funny is it...

that I haven't even been ACCEPTED yet, and already I am worried about how I'll ever afford grad school. Wouldn't it be hilarious if I drive myself crazy only to be crushed in the end? Ok. Maybe not hilarious. But still. So I finally have a professed FAFSA and I am not eligible for a Pell Grant. Apparently there are only available for undergrads. Oh well. I seem to recall there being some Federal Grants for Graduate students, but I am not too sure. I'll have to call tomorrow. I am still "Under Review" at the school. I am starting to feel optimistic about it though. If I hadn't been accepted, I think I would know by now. I think, but I am not sure, that the department accepts the applicant and then passes on the application to the University which ultimately makes the decision and then tells the department yes or no. Then the department tells the applicant the final decision. I THINK< class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">th, if I am still "Under Review" then the department has accepted me and I must wait on the University whose requirements for admittance are LOWER than the department. Is that confusing enough?

I tried to confirm this with someone at the school today, but it seems that no one answers the phone in Canada. I will try again tomorrow. I remember seeing the deadline online somewhere and thinking it was MY application deadline. It could have been the undergrad deadline. I have NO idea, as I cannot find the page where I read that to save my life. Whatever. I will go back and look.
