So I'm blogging now, huh?

Well, I'm not sure how exciting my life is to blog about, but I'll give it a shot because Trish said so :)

Right now, I'm dealing with the wonderful financial aid office at school and having to drop my class. They told me for about 3-4 weeks that my loan money would be paying out to my account "soon". Every time I'd call, they'd tell me it should be "any day now" and to "check back next week". Well, I did, and nothing happened.

So I called last week and asked the lady when my money would be paying out so I could stay in the class. She then tells me, "Well, since you've only got 4 credit hours, the loan won't pay out. You need 6 or more to actually receive the loan." WTF! So then I found out that I could add another class, but only if that department head approved it, and since it's almost 2 months into classes, none of them did.

So here I am, on the phone with them. I know they can't do anything now, but I just felt they should know that they royally screwed me over for this semester. But at least now I know that when I register for classes next semester, I'll be sure to have 6 credit hours or more!

Other than that, today I'm just cleaning. I don't work until Thursday, so I've got Monday-Wednesday to get my cleaning and laundry done. I've made myself a nifty little chart that lists my "chores" for the day and I just check them off as they're done. It's made things a lot easier for me and I've found that I do work better by lists and charts!
