answers to a few questions

Considering the fact that I will begin classes on Wednesday, I suppose I have some answers to the questions previously set forth:

(01) When can I move into my new apartment?
I moved in on August 7th, which was MUCH sooner that anticipated! All parties involved were quite elated with the news. Many cheeks and pants were wetted in celebration!

(02) How am I going to fit all of my shit into my car & trailer?
Well, I didn't fit it all, but enough to get me by until I return for another load in December, though now I'm wishing I had placed a higher priority some objects than others... Hind sight is 20/20, right?

(03) Where can I store the trailer until I can unload it? And after that?
Well, considering I moved in the day I arrived, I didn't need to worry about the before, but the after was much better than I could have hoped. I was able to park it in a free "visitors" spot next to my building. I've gotten into the habit of checking on it every day. Must place lock on trailer...

(04) When will Jillian arrive if she can even come up now?
My beloved Jillian arrived July 31st! And there was much rejoicing!

(05) What should I leave behind?
See answer to Question #2.

(06) What do I need for orientation?
Nothing.

(07) How do I register for classes?
Michelle with help me with that on Monday, just like everyone else.

(08) Will a late registration fuck up my schedule?
N/A

(09) When will financial aid kick in?
They mail checks out on September 6th, so I shall look to the mail shortly after that.

(10) When can I cash out my financial aid?
Check previous answer.

(11) How much will all of this cost me!?!
TBA

why must it be so complicated!?!

I had been patiently waiting for word from USM about class registration & orientation for the coming fall semester. I finally broke down a week ago and e-mailed my contact from the department. Apparently I was supposed to receive said information 3 weeks ago! I just got a postcard yesterday about orientation, but that is the least of my worries! Now Jillian can't fly out on the 25th as originally planned. So here is a new list of the things I'm freaking out about:

(01) When can I move into my new apartment?
(02) How am I going to fit all of my shit into my car & trailer?
(03) Where can I store the trailer until I can unload it? And after that?
(04) When will Jillian arrive if she can even come up now?
(05) What should I leave behind?
(06) What do I need for orientation?
(07) How do I register for classes?
(08) Will a late registration fuck up my schedule?
(09) When will financial aid kick in?
(10) When can I cash out my financial aid?
(11) How much will all of this cost me!?!
