I haven't been able to get through to Financial Aid or the Bursar's office for over two weeks. So, a couple of weeks ago, I sent an e-mail to each asking what was going to happen to my account if I dropped these classes.
Finally, I just had to drop the classes. And it's starting to look like I may have to drop my final class too.
So, I finally get through to financial aid today. "Yes, that will effect your aid." "What part of my aid?" "I won't know till after the withdrawal period ends." "What if I stay in one class?" "That will still effect your aid, probably in the same way." "How?" "I won't know..."
So, my whole plan of staying in one class to keep the aid was a stupidass one. She said the loans go first, but that MassRehab may choose to retract their aid as well, which is another $2,000 on top of the loans. And my grants might be taken back, and I may be inelligable for them again.
Stupid fucking body. Stupid fucking money-hungry organizations that couldn't care less about the people they're supposed to be helping. Stupid fucking financial aid for being completely unhelpful.

My friend suggested that it will be sort of like a Japanese lacquer bowl.
Oooh, that'll be pretty.
Fay, I think you'll do fabulously in Thailand.
The weather here was lovely on my walk in. I hope it'll stay this way....
ooh! I just found out that the other thing I'm doing this weekend is going to the opening night of a production of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead that a friend is in. It's free and walking distance! AWESOME!
And tomorrow I have plans to meet a friend for midafternoon margaritas and to check out a certain bartender.
sunday I really have to clean. My house is the filthiest. FILTHY!
I was so hoping that since it was so late in the semester, I'd be protected by *something*, but that was just stupid false hope.
Looks like I'm done with school. It took me eight years to pay it off the last time this happened. I'm done. I'm totally and completely done. It's not worth it.
That makes me sad. You are good at it.
Signs name to Fay's petition.
Oh, vw, I'm so very sorry this crap is happening. Are others home? You're not dealing with this alone, right?
lisah - insent!
Are others home?
Not!Emily is still asleep, but I wouldn't feel comfortable talking with him about this anyway. I've got Toto, who went and hid under the couch after I slammed the phone down.
Isn't there any kind of hardship exemption, vw? Can your doctors do anything? Can you talk to someone higher in the food chain? I just HATE the idea of your not finishing school. You're such a good student, even with everything you've been fighting.
