It just keeps getting better....

Boss was in a shitty mood when I got to work. Thankfully he left early. So I thought the night would be going a little better.
I get off work, after 9pm. Stop at my friends house to pick up mail....School stuff...my loan...SWEET, I think.
Get to my car. Open. "you still owe us $1000 after your loan. It is due by August 15th."
A slip of paper falls out. "You MUST return your completed loan information by August 8th." WHAT? Check the post-mark. It was STAMPED to be MAILED from JOLIET on AUGUST 4TH! Which means it PROBABLY didn't get OUT until the FIFTH!
"We will NOT hold classes after this date."
WOAH, WOAH, WOAH!!!!! I JUST got the letter TODAY! Are you effing kidding me? This is about nine thirty at night, when I can't do anything about it.
So what do I do? Cry. It's all I can do. I'm SO frustrated with school bullshit right now, it's ridiculous. There's SO much paperwork bullshit I STILL need to finish and school starts in TWO WEEKS!!!
They mailed my co-op/chargeback thing to me. I thought they were going to mail that to the school. So I'm still being charged out of district fees and GOD ONLY KNOWS when THAT situation will be straightened out so I'll probably have to try to magically pull a little over a grand that I don't have. Sigh.
This means that tomorrow I have to take the day off from my part time job and head out to Joliet (paperwork and shitty post-marked envelope to prove it) to try and figure this gigantic mess out. Sigh. I just PRAY TO GOD I'm still enrolled in classes. If they tell me my classes got dropped and I have to wait another year....harumph!
Hopefully, i'm enrolled. Otherwise I go to the professor of the program and tell him my sob story. He should be able to assist me in this situation.
Sigh. It's just very aggravating and I'm just about ready to give up on this whole thing. If only, if only.
Anyhow. I'm gonna get to bed. Have to be up early to trek to Joliet to figure all this out to get to my FULL TIME job by 3pm.
I'm beggining to hate this shit.

don't give up!

you are simply facing a pile of bureaucratic bullshit that our ancestors put into place. i say, even if you haven't been able to pay the full $1000 by the time classes start, just go to classes anyway. and when you go to talk to the financial people, see if you can set up a payment plan.

it'll be OK! they want your business!

Well I'm heading out there as soon as I get off the computer. I should be able to talk to the professor anyhow, you know how that works. Sometimes they can put you in the classes you need and such.

Wish me luck. I don't think I'll be getting angry, so that's not what I have to worry about. Instead, I'm gonna blubber like a big baby. Ha.

(And as for Ren Faire...SO sorry! Next time. I'll even let you flog me! :D)
