Grrrrrr... >:o

Let's all sing the "I Hate Financial Aid" song together now, shall we?

For those of you who don't know, the campus Financial Aid office is once again out on their quest to personally screw me over. They've been at it for a couple years now, and I'm ready to pull my hair out, glue it back to my head, pull it out again, and then figure out a way to harm them with it. Jury's still out on that last one.

The issue is that I got my "financial aid" letter...except there was no financial aid on it, which leaves my account with a balance of over twelve thousand dollars. Now, Mom and I sat down and figured out how much I would need based on the letter they sent me in April or May--which said I would need approximately $3500. ANYONE ELSE NOTICE A LITTLE BIT OF A CHANGE??

So I thought okay, fine, I'll go in and talk to them on Monday and see if we can get this straightened out. How lovely of them to send me this news on a Saturday when there's no one to call, but fine, we can deal with this, I hope.

Then I get on campus and find that I have emails. I have one from the computer center, saying that I'm supposed to come in for the laptop exchange tomorrow at eight-thirty AM. Okay, that's cool...except that then there's another email saying that there's a hold on my account from the Business Office, and I can't get my new laptop until that's taken care of. And a third email saying that if the laptop situation isn't squared away by Tuesday, I lose my network access. And if the last two years are any indication, I'm booked pretty solid in RA training for the next two weeks.

Congratulations, BV! Your four-year quest to screw me over might have actual succeeded this time around. I'm going to talk to my RD and hope that she'll be able to help me out somehow, but...I really don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do. Let's say I get to Financial Aid at eight AM--I have no confidence that this'll get ironed out by the eight-thirty trade-in time. So I miss that, then on Tuesday I lose my internet. And to top it all off, I have this horrible vision of walking into Financial Aid and asking them about it and being told that I don't have the money for college and I'm screwed...

I'm bawling right now because I'm so scared about this and I just don't know what to do. And in twenty minutes, I'm supposed to go down and meet my new RD. Well, I'm sure going to make a great first impression, aren't I?

Goddammit...I can't wait to get the hell out of this place.

do you want me to beat someone up?

*hugstight* Would you?

"I hate financial aid, they make up what I haven't paid, lalala!"

Seriously, this sucks rocks. I'm guessing those responsible for this mess include several departments slacking off and not communicating with each other. Whatever college this is, I DO hope you get out soon--with highest honors and a slammin' job! Then you can wave your degree in the air, do a happy dance, and sing the "I'm Outta Here" theme song. ^^

Till then, hang in there. You're in my prayers!

I'll be knocking on their door at eight AM tomorrow. Here's hoping that this gets worked out so I can finish my senior year of college >.<

*laugh* Thank you so much =D I appreciate the vote of confidence *hugstight*

Oh yeah! Forgot to mention . . . as soon as I get back from American Idol auditions, you're getting a first class (I hope!) letter from Sohma Hatsuharu! Hope that thought brightens your day. ^_^

American Idol auditions? AWESOME! Good luck! *is looking forward to the letter*

[ran-mouri82.livejournal.com]

Happy to hear the Fin Aid thing worked out! (American Idol was fun, but none of us moved to the next round. Ah, well.) Your letter will be coming soon!

im sorry you're going through this...if you need someone to talk to/yell at, you can always give me a call.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I think I've calmed down now. I just...kinda freaked ^^;; But thanks anyway, sweetie *hugs*

On one note: this is why I'm glad I don't go to college for two more years.

On another: take a deep breath y repeat after me: "Everything will be fine." How do I know? Quite frankly, I don't. But you should know that I'm a Christian, y I'm of the variety that believes nothing happens without a reason. In fact, I'll even share with you a little thingy that one of the speakers up at TLC said: "God has an imagination greater than anything you could possibly think of." You're not gonna understand it - not now, at least, and maybe you never will. But I do know that, somehow, things will work out. Y because you have all this college drama going on right now, you just earned yourself a spot next to Big Sisters Rachel y Sammie on my prayer list! -hugs-

Hang in there, ok? Just keep looking towards that bright spot (Shinichi in a fanservicey situation, just for Candy-chan, mayhaps?), and remember: posituvity! ;)

*huggles* awwww sweetie... I hope you got it straightened out >> yeahhh completely understand when you say the "I hate financial aid" schools don't seem to understand that mebbie it'd be better if they actually put all htis stuff in writing you can understand and on places you can find it. Or at least make letters and websites legiable

Perhaps we should start a group on facebook? The I hate BVU especially their financial assistance office because they are only screwing me out of more and more of my hard earned money, my arm, my leg and my first born child. I now know why so many former BV grads have harsh feelings when it comes to establishment as a whole...
