Pandora's Aquarium: Laughing is better than crying - Pandora's Aquarium

This has not been a good day. I know I've been complaining a lot lately, but I just don't know how else to vent my frustrations. Today my morning started off with a betrayal from someone who screwed me over. Okay, I got mad but then tried to not think about it. Then in the afternoon my college cut off my financial aid, saying I didn't have a high enough academic record. I thought it was an error since I have a high gpa, but when I called to check it turns out that over a decade ago I withdrew from some few classes (without prejudice) but they now claim that makes me too much of a risk for financial aid. Apparently that is more important to them than the gpa. That makes no sense.

So I lodged a formal appeal, but because the school waited until one week before classes start I don't know how I'll come up with the money in the interim. Oh, and just for good measure they dropped me from my classes. Now that registration is nearly over, I'll be lucky to be able to get into ANY even if my financial aid is approved. I'm in the law program and the classes were hard to get into in the first place because so many people are in that program, and all my classes have to be during my daughter's school hours.

And to cap it all off, my evening has brought me a ruptured eardrum. I'm actually laughing as I type because my life is so absurd. I'm trying to see the humor in it, but it's not easy. But I guess laughing is better than crying. I must have been really mean in a past life or something. Either that, or God has a weird sense of humor. :P/>
