A Comedy Of Errors?

I'm getting sick now. That's always appreciated.

My books also all got here today. Of course then my internet went out for the entire afternoon because of them cutting the trees down around my apartment so I wasn't able to do homework. I swear, if it weren't so insanely irritating everything that's happened to me with this stupid Liberty thing would be incredibly comical. And it still kind of is. I just need to get a little more removed from the situation before I can laugh.

I really have terrible luck.

Addendum: Obviously my internet is working now. I managed to steal some earlier this evening & wrote possibly one of the best discussion board posts I ever have. It was about Jesus. So that's slightly ironic, writing about Jesus whilst stealing internet (desperate times call for desperate measures). Then the internet went out again. But now it's back.

They also haven't gotten my financial stuff fixed nor has my transcript been evaluated so I STILL don't know what classes transferred.

No Title, Really

No progress with Liberty yet. Class starts today & assignments are starting to be due on Wednesday. My books are in-transit.

This has been such a hot mess. I just have to keep telling myself "At least you're not in Florida" to keep me from completely regretting it & trying to re-enroll down there. Still a possibility depending on how things go this semester.

Help! I Got Tagged By Lex!

Ok. So I was tagged by Lex, who is now making me answer these questions. Ay yi yi...

1) Sometimes I feel like I'm the craziest person person in the world...So you have to tell me something that makes you a little insane so I can feel better about myself.

Okay no, I'm kidding, but you still have to answer it :D

Let's see. I'd have to say some of my more OCD tendencies. I always have to check my alarm clock multiple times before I can sleep. I also have to back out of the driveway a few times & check the back door to make sure that it's closed so the damn dogs don't get out. And all of my clothes hangers must face the same direction. And I count syllables on my fingers.

2) Would you rather kiss Voldemort or Susan Boyle?

Voldemort because I walk on the wild side & I think it would be interesting to kiss someone without a nose. Though I could kiss Susan Boyle & learn what it's like to kiss someone with a mustache.

3) What is one impossible thing you wish was possible?

To reclaim my youth. I missed out on so much & I would love to go back & take more control of my life as opposed to letting everyone & circumstances define me.

4) What type of dinosaur would you be? I want you to research extensively and match yourself up with one that has similar personality traits =P

Pachycephalosaurus. Hard-headed & adorable.

5) If you could move anywhere in the universe, where would you move? (Notice how I say "universe" which means if you would like to reside on Mars, or set up camp in a black hole, that's perfectly fine.)

Canada. Nice weather, stuff to do, pretty scenery. No American b.s.

6) Theme song of your life?

"Tidal Wave" by Owl City. It's about depression, anxiety, & insecurity & trying to rise above it.

7) Gallbladder or liver?

Probably my gallbladder because I obviously hate my liver with as much as I drink.

Ok. So I don't know who to tag that would actually do this, so I'm going to tag...

Cherise

Abby

Dr. Ken

&, oh what the heck, Lex, you can answer these too :)

Mainly because they're the only people that blog that I know relatively consistently read mine anymore.

Here are your questions.

1.I have difficulty pronouncing the word 'ominous." I always say, "Omnimous." What word/s do you consistently mispronounce?

2. Favorite TV show & why? Least favorite TV show & why?

3. What is one song you'd love to be able to sing in front of millions of people?

4. Most unfortunate outfit you wore thinking it looked really good? Mine were overalls & overall shorts.

5. Most embarrassing moment?

6. Something you'd do for a $1,000,000?

7. Least favorite food?

Ok. Just comment & let me know you've done these because I may miss them otherwise!

The Death of Liberty

Ok. So one of the points of me moving back to NC was so that I could take classes at Liberty Online. I thought the idea was inspired, as did my former professors in Florida. Everything was going fine until one fateful day, August 25th I believe it was. I was completing my Financial Check-In because the deadline was September 13 & if it wasn't completed by then there was a $125 late-fee. I called them because I had a question about something unrelated & was informed that I had a loan overlap from my school in Florida. They said it would take a little while but to check back in a few days to check its progress. I asked if I needed to do anything & they said I didn't.

I called back a few days later (the 27th I think) & checked. Again, nothing was fixed. Again, I asked if I could do anything to help & again they said I didn't.

A week later I call back & find out that there is a form I was supposed to fax to Florida & have them fax back to Liberty. So there was something I could have done. Wonderful. And oh yeah, the reviewing process takes about 2-4 weeks, so there was no way I was going to make the deadline.

I've been in touch with them throughout all of this, dropping hints & practically flat-out saying I was going to appeal the fine. My parents have talked to them, too. On Wednesday of this week (2 days ago, FYI. 'tards) I talked to this lady who said to check back today & speak with her because it might be corrected. Well guess what. All of the offices are closed for a meeting. And while they will be open again tomorrow, none of the student employees that are there can do anything & my dear friend from Wednesday is off. My class starts Monday so if I can't get anything fixed & I have to drop the class (which I had planned on possibly doing today) & since I can't now, I won't get a full refund on the class because I dropped it after the class started. Oh yes, it's true.

I'm going to fight all of it & I really don't care what I say anymore. I have been more than kind & patient with these people & have been dicked around for the past month. If I'm not a full-time student I lose my insurance so the only other option is to take this class in October, which means I'll have 3 classes having stuff due all at the same time & frankly, that's not an option. I'm not going to drive myself crazy because they're a bunch of morons.

And oh yeah, I had my transcripts sent there & they lost them. Yep! I got receipt in my e-mail that they were received on the 1st of this month & they JUST found them about 2 days ago after I brought it to their attention AGAIN. So at this point I don't even know what's going to transfer.

And our landlord chopped down the trees in front of our place & they left the disfigured limbs in the parking lot so there aren't enough spaces for everyone.

I need this day to be over.

Minor Update

I'm officially employed at Caribou. Orientation is tomorrow. Holla!

"Survivor" came back last night. Gah, I love that show.

That's all for now.

Poem

Fire & Ice- Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great,
And would suffice.

This is my favorite poem. Can't really explain why. Just thought I'd share it with everyone.
