So pissed off with uni right now.
They decided to change the student maintenance payments over from a cheque system to being paid directly into bank accounts. I was meant to get my Jan/Feb/Mar payment through yesterday.
Checked today... Nothing.
So I phoned the finance office. "Oh yes, you need to reregister before we can give you your money. No, we didn't send you anything telling you to reregister, we just assume you know by SOME SORT OF FUCKING TELEPATHIC LINK. No, there's no point in coming into uni, the bursary secretary has left early assuming she won't be needed, and we won't bother doing anything if you fill the forms in today. Yes, yes you are COMPLETELY FUCKED for Christmas."
So. The only thing I can do is go into uni on the 2nd, fill in the forms (assuming the department has sorted out their side of it) and then wait TWO WEEKS till I can get a cheque.
--UPDATE--
After an angry letter to the departmental supervisor (CC'd to my supervisor and the finance department), I've driven into Sheffield and been given a loan of £300 cash to last me for the next couple of weeks till they sort it out. I'm glad I don't have to pay rent till the 15th.
