(DISCLAIMER: Major ventage post!)
I went to bed early last night so I could get some assignments and cleaning accomplished early this morning. Then the school's website was down. Fail! I did a little laundry and kitchen cleaning, and relaxed until my Joseph Jay woke up.
..and then..I found the saboteur!
A little notice in the mail from my school notifying me I owe almost $2,000 in tuition and fees(some of which were wrongfully charged). It also states if this balance is not paid in full, not only can I not continue at South University, but I will also not be able to get my transcripts. Not cool.
It is starting to become clear why my account has been reflecting no sort of financial aid. I am NOT sure if this is why my financial aid adviser has not been returning any phone calls and emails from the past 2 weeks, but it is suspicious. I already KNEW there was a problem b/c what was previously showing as my pending financial aid disappeared from my account right before it was supposed to be applied. I have been trying to get in touch with my supposed adviser for 2 weeks now with no luck. Then, this happened.
At this point, I emailed my student adviser, my OLD financial aid adviser who advised me this would NOT occur and that all was on track, and my 'new' financial aid adviser who has yet to prove her existence. Am I surprised I have not received an email or a phone call? ...I am sure you would not be surprised to hear me say NO! I WILL go over their heads as soon as the website is back up and I can find the information and contacts I need.
If they don't fix this problem, I will also leave this school. I don't care if it costs me the full $2000 to leave, if I have to pay it I am certainly not paying them one more penny after the fact for royally screwing me. At least I have learned to get ALL things in writing. I am almost convinced to not even speak to anyone over the phone at this point b/c I want everything documented.
In order to get my mind off of this situation that is basically out of my hands until someone decides to respond to me, I took up the cleaning again. Got a little vacuuming done, and decided to move the furniture. I've been wanting to change it up for awhile, and now that I have no one here to disagree with the placement of furniture it was TIME!
I like the set up, but I discovered there was much more vacuuming to be done - and then....
*dun dun dun*
...the vacuum broke. Epic fail.
To make matters worse...then my son proceeded to spill an entirely full bottle of lotion all over the dirty carpet I can't clean.
This has brought us to the present...and this is why I am DONE! I have declared it time to refocus and regroup. I am diving head on into a book for Momentum b/c it is incredibly uplifting and I am not wasting another minute of this day wallowing in negativity. So, I am done, but I am moving on as well!
Here's to better days..
