I've looked at it every way I can, and it seems like my best option is to sell my pedal harp, much as I don't want to. They hold their value really well, so I'll be able to get a decent sum for it.

TD is showing no inclination of releasing my funds to me, and I have no idea how long that will take to resolve. I owe 3 of my friends money, from helping pay for moving expenses and I want to pay them back ASAP.

I borrowed money from my brother to pay my tuition and books until my OSAP loan comes through, so I've paid my fall tuition and have money for books, but the only way I got through Aug. was to use part of my second semester tuition money. I'm going to have to use the rest of it to get through Sept.

I am selling my car, but I'll only get about $2k for that.

I'm going to talk to my school and see about filing a revised OSAP application that assumes a much lower income, but that'll take time.

I'm not happy about this but selling my harp will let me pay back my friends and support myself until I can get my LIRA situation sorted out.

At least I still have my celtic harp to play in the meantime.
