Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for your advice!! You truly have been so helpful!! I have excellent news that just attests to the fact that if you concentrate on your goals things will fall into place for you.
I was just offered an apartment that is bigger and less expensive than the one I'm in now for May 1, the day I come back! I don't need two months rent either, so it seems that money is surprisingly not the issue anymore!
This happened after I went and redeemed the ticket vouchers and booked my hotel in LA. I got a really good rate for the hotel by the way -- half price for a 4 star!
I have also found out that I am eligible for $1,500 CDN grant, which I applied for last week, I should hear the news on that soon.
All in all, you were all right. It reminds me of yet another saying, 'People move out of the way for someone who knows where they are going.' Meaning, one's actions cause favourable events to happen.
I am still a bit nervous, understandably, but at least I don't have as much to worry about, and I can concentrate on the task at hand.
Again, thank you all, and I will keep you updated!
Kindest regards,
Enlightenment
