So I usually try to stay away from posts like this, but its been awhile, and right now it's all I can think about. I'll write about the trip to Memphis later. Today has just been the shittiest day really. To start things off I woke up late, still got to class somewhat on time, but I hate being rushed in the morning just like everyone else. Then after that I had to deal with Financial Aid shit again. First problem, I get an email from the loan company saying that I have dropped below full time student status or am not attending school. Neither is true, therefore their information is wrong, and it's going to take all kinds of stupid shit to fix it. Then, on top of that I have a financial hold on my registration, again. Two semesters in a row. This stuff is bull shit, last year my loans didn't pay the full amount I accepted, so I think I shouldn't have to pay that amount. Now I'm waiting on the rest of some loans to go through, and because of that I had a balance charged to my account which ended up putting a hold on my account. All of that shit business should be taken care of now, but I'll find that out tomorrow once I log on to see if the payment went through. After all of that crap was done, or somewhat done I had to deal with finishing a project. On top of doing mine my professor asked me to help others as well, which is totally fine with me, but it does get difficult, especially when I don't know how to fix the problem, or I am having a problem. That's not even my problem though. I get to being all the way done, then when I go to print I have like 800 problems with it. It started with not having all necessary files when we were at the main building, so I had to go back and print from our lab. Not so bad right? Wrong, every time I tried to print something went wrong. On one computer the program kept crashing at the same point. Another, same problem. Third computer it finally works and I get it printed, after an hour of dealing with the shit. The only bright spots in the day were lunch with one of my friends, and hanging out on the South Quad with some others. Oh and during the break listening to Phoenix's album "Alphabetical": Great fucking album by the way, if you get the chance, listen.
