Good or Bad News First?

Good or bad news first? I usually choose the bad just to get it over with. So here goes.
I received a letter from housing in the mail yesterday. It basically said that housing is full there and I will be put on a waiting list until a vacancy becomes available. Another waiting game? Yup. The letter did say they have alternative housing and have a list of residence that are willing to rent to college students. My problem is that I am going there without a job. How can I afford rent or the deposit, etc? I emailed them just today and told them that if I do not have housing the chances of me attending are slim. It isn't really true. However, if they think they will loose money they may find an opening they missed. It is a small school, so who knows. It was worth a shot.
As for my class schedule, I still have not heard back from my adviser. It is really starting to annoy me. I emailed him not too long ago (week or two) and he said that he would be getting back to me soon. Ugh. I have no patience. I really just want everything to be finalized. This way I can get my plane tickets and start preparing. I feel like everything is just up in the air right now and doubt keeps creeping up in me and my family members around me.

Better news:

I have been working my tail off lately. The schools have needed me to cover several positions. This week was the first time I worked the entire week. I have to say, it feels good. Feels nice to know that a decent size check should be coming in this month. I have also started assistant coaching 8th grade girls basketball. For the most part, this is a great group of girls that have never played before. Ahh I love a challenge. The work and the basketball have me so worn out though. I am just getting used to the schedule. BUT it's a great kind of worn out. The kind where you know your making a difference in someones life. The kind where you can sit down at home at the end of the day and just sigh because it's over, but also because it was such a productive one. That is how my week has been. Productive but not necessarily positive.

Right now:
I am sitting in my house in the dark. Not a single light on. It is 8:30am and everyone is still asleep except me. The sun rose long ago but the winter clouds have hidden it well. The gray sky makes me happy for some unknown reason. Winter is on it's way and it shows in the 35 degree temperature. I can barely hear the wind chimes ringing outside. This is the perfect environment to write. These days are what keep me in a good mood, and remind me that everything is in God's hands. These days keep me at peace.
