Money Matters

I'm supposed to have my placement today, but I've had a stressful week and haven't even thought about the questions I want to do for my educational study essay thingy... So I rang and cancelled, means I'll finish on Tuesday week, rather than this time next week.

Not going gave me a chance to relax for a couple of hours, but more importantly, go back to the international office. I went to ask about my OSHELP application, he went to look for my paper work and said that I put the 1st of January on the form... so I wouldn't be getting it until 6 weeks before that.... I said.. "oh... I just came to see if I had been approved or not"... he kinda laughed and said "yeah, all I had to do was tick a box.." haha... how awesome!! So I've been approved for centrelink!! AND I have my student loan!!! :D .. which is great! Cause without it... I probably could have still gone... but it would have been HEAPS harder, and I might have had to ask mum or dad for some money. But yeah, the loan will easily pay for my application fees, my flight and my travel insurance!! .. and whats left will pay about half of a laptop!! Which is also awesome!! Cause I really wanted to get a laptop for when I'm there!! Still gotta save as much as I can tho, just means I'll be able to pay for it on my own! :D so happy about that!!

I have three things left to do now...
- Go to the post office and get a money order for the application fees
- Post my application
- Wait til the announcement in October
