Silver Lining

"If you don't like something change it;
if you can't change it,
change the way you think about it."

Yesterday the phone rang with good news. Today the phone rang with bad news.

You want to hear the good news first?

I was approved for in state tuition. NYEBoy and I were both shocked, not because we didn't think I would get it, but because we thought it would take a few more hoops, including a face-to-face showdown.

That news? I like.

Today we found out the plans to move fell through. The owner to the place became a little crazy and then called and told me he had someone else sign paperwork and pay a deposit.

That news? I didn't like.

Instead of being upset since I can't change what transpired, I'm going to count my blessings. We now don't have to pay for two rental payments through the summer. I can also not have to worry about packing and moving in the middle of a semester.

Having said all of that... if my dream place could please fall in my lap so I don't have to go looking for it, I would be very, very thankful.
