Soooo, after years of not finishing classes (because of my lovely mental issues) at one university, I finally learned how to succeed after spending some time at a city college. And, Alas, I am finally ready to transfer...or so I thought.
It seems that though I got less that a 1.0 at the university it is a big no-no to omit schools in your application. Stupid, stupid, stupid. But let me explain. Due to my 'issues' I had to leave school abruptly (that kind of things happen when you can't get out of bed for a few months) and thus I never paid the 7(!) parking tickets I accrued. So now, I have to write letters to the Admissions people at my — hopefully new — university, pay the $480 (yes, $480) in parking fines, and see if after transferring credits (both decent and horrible) I am still eligible to transfer.
Damn it, it took me a long time to gain the perspective that life is life, and it is pointless to be mad that I didn't get a diagnosis early enough to actually be able to do university, and high school, and junior high, and elementary school. And now, after fighting to learn not to be angry about my lost years (many many years), I realize that this shit — and I angrily do mean shit, f*ing shit — this issue that has affected my entire life so far will also impact my academic future.
This post is totally and completely a rant.
Oh yeah, I also have to drive 45 minutes to argue with the transportation director to, hopefully, reduce my fines. Because I am a student damn it...a poor jobless student. And get my transcript because they can't give you ANY information over the phone. None. None at all.
Ok, rant over. Well, not completely, but I'll stop talking about it here. Downers are no fun.
Hope your week is better than mine, infinitely better!
love,
Debbi Downer
