Yes I agreed that Josh's parents would pay the extra rent I can't pay. But it still bothers me a lot, especially when there are apartments we could look at that cost over a thousand dollars less and they'd still be nice enough and safe.
It turns out you can apply for as many scholarships as you want, and there's no limit. So you can be awarded more money than school will cost. I applied for every scholarship I could find. One sent me a thing saying they are awarding me a scholarship, but then two days later the same people sent something saying I'm NOT getting a scholarship. I am not sure which letter I am supposed to believe.
I also got a thing saying I can do work-study. Except the most work-study pays is $8 an hour, and each of my jobs pay more than that. Plus, you're only allowed to earn a certain amount of money through word-study. So it does not seem worth it to do that since it pays so little.
I did apologize to Tom that night. Alex told me yesterday that when they were walking to Tom's office he said to her "What are we going to do with your sister?" I tried to ask Alex how he meant it but she didn't know.
The grandparents are just regular old people who say old people things. I don't know why Laurie is so stressed out. They seem normal to me. They asked why I wasn't traveling for the summer. "Because I'm working." They asked why I didn't take a few weeks off from work to travel. "Because I need to work." Laurie jumped in and said I am making work a priority in my life right now. It pissed me off. If you want to be rich that's fine, but don't go around assuming everyone else you meet is also rich too.
Today's food:
Breakfast: french toast, honeydew, chocolate milk
Lunch: half toasted bialy with peanut butter
Dinner: fire family dinner - orange chicken, squash (there was more food but it was not good)
Snack: Laurie made the three of us eggs when we got home and then we ate rainbow cookies

Ah, you don't suck.
Sorry to hear about Craig, tho. Do you qualify for medical assistance? Maybe that could help with the $$.
I think Tom simply meant you were being prickly. Y'know where there's been so many changes for you, and it sounds like it's hard for you to relinquish all the reins.
Please know that there is a whole online community rooting for you.
