Sovereign Princess Kaousuu: College Student

[Suu]

So today was my orientation at URI, and I got all giddy...

And then I got molested by a furry ram...

And then I was comfortable enough to take a shit in the bathroom.

And then I realized I haven't gotten in my refund card yet and other's have...and now Monday will be spent, once again, knocking at financial aid's door, and going, "Fix this, now." So I can make sure I can actually afford to live while going to school.   

And it looks like my books are going to clock out at about $425 if I actually buy them. 

My new availability has already been turned into work, along with the academic calendar so they know when I'm going to be taking finals, so they can't fuck it up. 

...and then as I was walking out of there, cursing financial aid and the university for possibly borking my account again, I remembered, exactly, how I felt in 2002 when I told myself I was never doing it again.

Welcome to my world.

Well, as long as you keep on it...aw fuckit, I was gonna give you the ol' "college try" to be positive.  Just keep kickin' their asses, Suu, till you get what's comin' to you.

YAY
i can't wait to get back to university


oh wait..
ya, the cost of everything sucks

[Suu]

The way I look at it...is that either my fucking mail is bouncing stuff back again, even AFTER I fixed it, twice, or since my financial aid was accidentally cancelled back in July when the cards were sent out, my name wasn't in the system. I checked e-Campus when I got home and my funds are scheduled to be disbursed this weekend into my account, so next week I need to go to Financial Aid, order a new card or see if they can cut me a check. I kinda want to pay rent and get my books.

I also have to get my ID card next week, so I may as well do that on my first day off next week...What SUCKS is that if the Providence campus can't help me, I have to go all the way to Kingston, but sometimes I just don't think phonecalls cut it.

Financial aid doesn't have a website?

Welcome to my world. 

Mine too.

When not studying => either teaching English or advertising my tutoring. I can't get a real job without a work permit, and I need to work to eat.

Financial aid doesn't have a website?

I want to talk to a person. Not an email that can get "deleted" or a message on the phone that could be "lost".

hrmmm.. mine has a site where you could pretty do much everything once you log in, minus sign out the money. It's great.
Ya financial aid is like the one part of school I really don't like.

The university PDers should have online study parties

[Suu]

This is an American university. They don't like to let their monies go so quickly.

Also for next week: CHANGE MY NAME.

Isn't it funny how universal the American College Experience is, across this fair land?

Also for next week: CHANGE MY NAME.

Your pain?
I felt it.
One college I attended has something like 3 different mes. Makes getting transcripts fun times.
