80 Something days to go!!!!

Three more months till I graduate!!! I am so stoked! Everything is working out as well as it possibly could. I am still having problems with Financial Aid getting processed on time, but it seems as though they were having their systems upgraded and it caused the delay which is still ongoing.

Beyond that, I am also waiting for WCU to receive my transcript from Rosemont. The first time they sent it in, they had me as a Masters Student instead of a Bachelors, so the Admissions contacted the school, and told them they had to send in a corrected transcript. If they would have sent it in correctly, the application would have been complete. So yet again we are waiting for Rosemont to come through. The records assistant was pretty sharp, and had the transcript sent out the day she was notified of the discrepancy. I just wish USPS would hurry up and get it there. I personally think that Rosemont should have sent it out over night because it was their mistake.

I also found out that even with my high GPA, I wont be receiving honors from the college because in the end I will be three classes short of the 19 course minimum to receive honors. Kinda depressing, but eh, I will still have the GPA.

I am not too sure if I will be walking in May or not. I think that it would be a positive thing to do, maybe with just my immediate family, but right now I am not as excited. Plus if all goes well with the WCU admissions, I will be finishing my first 6 credits in grad school by the time I walk in May. Which is kinda stupid to walk when I am already in grad classes.

If WCU doesn't work out for me I am thinking about taking courses at Boston University. My current teacher also put me on the UPenn. I think that I will apply to the school once I get my PM degree under my belt, that way I can actually pay for the classes if I get in. I think that the UPenn degree wouldn't be so bad, yet I really wish I could take more courses online rather than at the school site, so that I don't have to worry about babysitters.

Just another rant!

Well I have come to the conclusion that my utilization is way too high. I really need to find a way to beat it down. It seems like every time I pay my card off, I use it all over again. Something is off balance and I know what it is, but its hard to stop. Sometimes my upbringing is my downfall. I think I need to exercise restraint against helping people, and hindering myself.

So I am debating on whether I should cut my card up or lock it in the safe. I know that I can go broke, and have all the bills paid, Ive done it before. But with all the things that are happening, its just hard to.

Not to mention I had to pay for Karate, School, and Food, plus my little brother's uniform stuff. So basically the large amount I put on the card went straight back to debt.

Crazy.

I also found out that the course I'm taking is technically a duplicate of what I have already done. I emailed my dean a copy of the course description which I took at the other school, so that he can compare the course objectives with theirs. But I don't think that he is going to approve the credit, because the school wants to make sure they get a certain amount of $$$ from each student I guess. Sucks for me, I rather be home with my kindergartner on his first five weeks of school, than in a class which I have already basically mastered. BS I tell you! Either way I'm going to suck it up. Though I have not heard from him yet in response to my email

Financial Aid Rant...Again!!!

I really like the college that I am attending, but I just don't understand why in the world they cant have financial aid processing done at the same time the other schools do. All other schools have the financial aid award letters in the mail before you start in the fall. Or rather before you come to school period. Here it seems as though you don't get it till you re more than halfway through. What happens if Financial Aid falls through, now you have to pay for a whole term of courses, and will not be able to begin again because you owe a large sum of money, and you can't use the next terms financial aid for arrears.!

Argg!!! I just hope they hurry and get it out. This is also their first year accepting male student, making it a coed school. So if they are getting in more students, then they should be upping the staff and the processing time!

I am glad this, (Lord Willing) is the last term I have to deal with this school and their financial aid timing.
