So I get this phone message from the state regents office, saying that there's a "problem" and to call Pam Hicks and the scholars office.
I call and soon after talking Pam says, "Is this [my name]?"
Turns out that when they told me earlier this year that I was still eligable to get my scholarship back, they were looking at the wrong list, or a list that hadn't been updated yet, or something. This of course, didn't bother them at the time. It meant a lot to me, of course, because I was working on 150% adrenaline thinking I'd get it back.
Oh, the planning I did.
Well, now it's over. Never mind my plans. Back to having $.63 in the bank after bills each month.

on 5 Jun 2001 19:49 (UTC)i'm really sorry. i know how it is to expect scholarship money to return and then have them say "oh no, no money for you blah blah blah you might as well not have worked your ass off, why would we want to give you any money anymore."
it sucks. the feeling of "wait a minute, i'm not getting paid any money, in fact, i suddenly owe a bunch of money."
some day all of us that they've screwed over should organize a posse and GET them. whoever they actually are.
