Frustration.

College is kinda stressful. What's even more stressful is filling out dumb paperwork to get me there.

Right now I'm trying to fill out my FAFSA, something I should have done already, so I can pay for school. It's really irritating me. This is why I put it off.

First off, The Fafsa website is not chrome-compatable, so I must use Internet Explorer. My internet explorer decides to malfunction every 10 seconds, no joke. So it resets, I have to reopen it. At the moment it's deciding to not even load the start up page before crashing. This is why I switched to the Chrome browser. It honestly is putting me in a really crappy mood. That's why I'm here, taking a break from the frustrations.

Second off, while I was able to work on it (the browser wasn't crashing at the start) I got to the point where I had to check my bank account to put a number on it. Yesterday my bank had me reset my password and the new one I made isn't working. I tried resetting it but the temporary password isn't working either. I've tried it twice. Still not working. ugh.

But it's also got me thinking. I'm immensely blessed with aid for school. With parents who don't make much money, and with not much myself, I get lots of help from scholarships, grants, and federal aid. I shouldn't be complaining over a few frustrating snags for all I get out of it. I'm being a real poopy pants. (Steph, if you read this, realize I just giggled to myself from our lovely day at work yesterday hahahaha)

For all that God blesses me financialy to pay my way through school, the least I can do is fill out some paperwork. So instead of complaining, I am going to stop here, take a moment and give a "thank you, Jesus" for all God's provision. I pray I change my attitude to one of greatfulness. Anger and frustration benefit me none. May I have the patience and peace of Jesus through the most frustrating times. Amen
