Tick Tock, tick tock

I'm still waiting for news on when I get to move.  I did finally hear back after reemailing again today.  But she doesn't know anything more about when they get to move.  ARGH.  She might know more tomorrow.  I'm anxious to get out there and settled in.  And anxious to get working...  I've gotten emails from the lighting shop about when I'll be out there, which is good, but bad when I can't tell them an answer.  And I need to get working so I can better apply for loans to pay for the rest of school.  I did one loan preliminary application today, and they want to charge me 12% interest on what I borrow.  Which just seems ridiculous for a school loan.  I'm hoping that applying to a private loan, as opposed to Sallie Mae will give me a lower interest rate.  But, in order for that to happen, I need to have a job, and in order to have a job I need to be in Chicago.  Everything is hinging on everything else.  

I'm believing that it will all work out, and sooner rather than later, but there is that slight doubt in the back of my mind...  Every now and then, the anxiety takes hold and I freak out about what is going on in my life.  Why can't I just get one stressful situation at a time instead of the four or five that I'm currently dealing with?  

I'm trying to distract myself with knitting.  I've almost got one full sleeve on my sweater.  I'm hoping to have it (sleeve 1) completed tonight.  And then the sweater will almost be wearable.  I also did a swirl of the JoJoLand Swirl Shawl.  I think the swirls will make for quick little knits that I can work on between things, as it only took about an hour to get a swirl done.  At least I'm not just sitting and watching bad tv...  I'm actually creating something while I do so.

Knitting really does help, doesn't it?
