Well, the road trip is over–five days of driving, over. And I’m finally moved into my new apartment in Bethlehem, PA next to my school. The downside? I’m also totally alone. My housemate is moved in but isn’t living here full time because her family lives close by. Most of my other friends graduated and the rest aren’t here until school starts, so… I’m just sort of around until then.

But onto other things:

During my trip across the US, I got an email. Lehigh is reinstating $4000 of my financial aid!

The money I raised is still going to my parents, but this means I get to deactivate my donation page! Thank goodness!

That email made my whole month, and I’m so happy I don’t have to constantly worry about money. I am still working at a bar part-time, doing work-study and taking classes full-time, so I’ll have plenty to do and some money to make.

For now, I’ll be here in my little apartment in Bethlehem.
