In Constant Flux

So, the University of Utah and I are fighting. I am trying to get a little financial aid in the way of student loans to pay for my lovely education, but apparently the U doesn't like that idea. During the summer I was at the financial aid office every couple of weeks trying to sort out all of the things that I would need to turn in. You would think that on the first or second visit they might mention something as important as a loan application, right? Wrong. This little bit of knowledge was not brought to my attention until finals week which is pretty much the deadline for turning it in. So I had to meet with a financial counselor to try and get the stupid application in.

Today I go back to see why nothing has gone through for my loans and they kindly inform me that I didn't get the stuff done in time. Well isn't that convenient. Keep in mind that I was planning on using this summer loan to pay for my fall semester because I had paid for the summer semester myself. I told the counselor these plans of mine and she pretty much told me I'm an idiot. I'M SORRY! Am I not supposed to assume that the financial aid people will do their job and make sure they have my stuff ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS IN THAT STUPID OFFICE EVERY TWO WEEKS FOR THREE MONTHS??? I didn't worry too much about trying to fill out all the crap for a fall loan because I figured that doing all that was in my power would be enough. Apparently not. So, now I have to scramble to figure out how I can come up with a couple thousand dollars in the next couple of weeks. Nice.

U of U, you and I are fighting! And yes, I am bovered.

Yep, pulled off an A. I'm pretty happy about it. I could have done better, as always, but alas I'll just have to live with it.

Anyways, on to happier things. I am going to Hawaii in two days with my wife and all the in-laws and I just can't wait. I seriously love these people. Plus, I will be spending a week or so in paradise with my very favorite person with the beach and the beautifulness and all of that ness. I'm just excited. Also, Aimee's work thing seemed to work out nicely I suppose. I was getting really mad, and I mean livid over the whole thing. I'm glad it worked out.

The only bad thing about Hawaii is I start school two days after. Lame. Oh well, that seems like life lately. Maybe someday I'll be done.
