Rain Sleet or Snow?
Went to Amherst for the weekend, I had a great time. This was great and all. I loved having a good time it just made me all the more eager to get back there in the spring but this trip in particular was a little like insult to injury.
It was just last week that I had received a letter from the university about my bill not being paid and that they were going to hold my registration for next semester. This was interesting as I have not been attending this semester. This summer after some crazy paper work I had applied for return in the fall but do to a first come first serve nature of things was told I had a "snowball's chance in hell". I had applied but never heard a response. I sent a lot of emails, left a lot of phone calls. They never gave me an answer as to whether I was accepted back for the fall. Given the "snowball's chance in hell" status I moved on. I didn't hear a word with the exception of the unpaid bill notification.
So I call up, I talk my way through a few "please Hold" sessions to hear that I am currently enrolled for 16 credits and being withdrawn for failure to register for classes. I asked what those 16 credits were then. Long story short I should have been there and some prick in a mail room chucked my letter in the trash or something like that. That and there are like 4 deans that owe me an apology. Never expected to be so royally screwed by the postal service. Anyway I'm not bitter I have made good use of my time. In retrospect it was probably a good idea to take some time off. But seriously, that sucks.
This is one of those cool moments in time where ten years form now I could have a "what if" flashback and imagine how my life would be different if I got that letter...I will just imagine that i win the lottery or something cool like that.
Heres to the Bright side of life!
Vote if you Can complain if you can't. If you care for nothing other then who will make better late night entertainment.
