person A: I'm waiting for my financial aid to be disbursed. It seems like it's taking forever. I really need to replace my car.
person B: Yea I hate the wait for aid and all the paperwork. Hopefully it is resolved soon so you can ride comfortably.
person A: I think it will be another three to four weeks. I hope my car lasts that long_comma_ it's having transmission problems.
person B: Hopefully the car holds up. I think you are playing it smart by having realistic expectation of when aid will arrive.
