I'm confused about my Financial Aid?

I applied for Financial Aid for my Spring Semester (End of December to late May) and when I applied for it, it was under "2009-2010 aid year"... I just looked on my school account and they gave me $9500 to be split between last semester and this semester it looks like (it was split in half, half going to Fall 2009 and half going to Spring 2010). I paid Fall 2009 out of pocket and didn't use financial aid. Why did this happen? Will I be reimbursed for the money I paid last semester (which would be wonderful!!!)? Also, I am not going to use all the Financial Aid that I was given because my schooling doesn't cost that much, can I purchase a computer with the extra funds? How does that usually work? Any information would be great, I'm new to this!
 
You can claim the money you spent on your 2009 tax return..Your financial aide is based on credit hours...12 credit hour is full time...if you cut back to 6 credit hours they cut your funds in half, whatever is left after that is sent to you as a check for you to use however you like (you are supposed to use it for school but they dont know if you do or not)...good luck
