Sleeve - I'm told I'm near the top of the line if any money falls back into the pot because of nonattendance, but the market's real tight this year, and the office doesn't anticipate much on that front. Worse comes to worst, I'm seriously going to skimp on future alumni contributions.
Stone - Thankfully, I think I can cover the difference with loans.
Still, it sucks. *cries some more*
my parents are paying for my brother in college with the help of financial aid... so we are tight on money... and over the past 2 months we have had a car break down... TV broke... Lawnmower broke down... Aunt died... Lawnmower broke down again... another car break down... and last night our big assed computer Monitor blew up...
... life sucks doesn't it?
I wish I could say something to cheer you up man.
I hope you feel better.
You didn't lose a scholarship, you gained a life of working at McDonalds. Congrats!

Yep, this sort of stuff truly does suck. People that do this sort of stuff for a living could care less about you and me. I missed out on going to state on the technicality of missing the deadline by a month. The letter was a line of shit to, basically said im great, and im smart but they can't take me purely based on that technicality. That's such bullshit to, what sane person will not take money? They could have let me sat in class in a lawn chair but no, stupid technicality of a date on a letter. They said I was so great they would take me for summer school. They just rubbed it in my face even more with that.
Directly in regard to the thread being about losing scholarships, I got a 1600$ scholarship that I have no idea how it's going to go. It's still in the void of the system because the schools budget is locked up. It was the only one I could get to, because I wasn't the schools best student and my dad's a Dr and sense I'm the only child going to college, the government doesn't see there being a need for it.
While im talking about how people suck in the school system for getting people on technicalities, I almost didn't get to go to my second choice college because they didn't inform me they hadn't gotten my ACT score. I had assumed it was in my school transcript. Nope, wasn't, but they didn't feel it was their job to tell me this. No letter telling me I was accepted or declined, just me floating in limbo until I finally called them and asked them if my letter got lost in the mail. By this time it was really close to registration and I had to pay some ridiculous shipping charge to get the school the ACT score in time. I could continue to go on about how they sucked even more about how little they had done for me when I went to orientation, or even how orientation wasn't really orientation but registration day. I could, but I won't. No real reason to, you all have some idea, just more of the US's wonderful socialist school system at work, passing the buck on to the students paying them.
I find it rather strange that the US doesn't have a national university.
Freeloaders.
