Financial Troubles & Painfully Slow Process a Help?

While the world's in financial chaos, you may be wondering how that might help me out? At the same time, once I let you know that I still haven't gotten my funds for the year - that they're stalled in Queen's accounting office - you might wonder even more how it could be a good thing.

Well, let me tell you how I think God might be turning a slow, frustrating process and an economic downturn into a blessing for at least this little, freckled student. Jude just let me know that the exchange rate (which was at 1.73+ over the last month) just dropped to 1.67 today. While it doesn't seem signficant when you're exchanging $10,000+, it adds up. Everyday it seems like another report about Britain's failing economy comes out (today was a report that their manufacturing sector had the lowest sales in the last 10 years, or something like that).

So, perhaps, while I'm waiting on my money to be processed by Queen's, living on credit card debt, a blessing - in the form of a better exchange rate for my money - might be the outcome. We'll just have to see.
