I'm glad I'm out of school this week.

I'm glad I'm out of school this week.  I haven't been able to register for classes at JSU despite meeting with an adviser and being cleared for registration so I went up to the school today.  Turns out that they had me registered as a transient student (though I've never taken classes there) - not a transfer student - and that was messing up everything.  I had to re-apply for Fall semester and I was told that things should be straightened out towards the end of this week.

I also got some bad news.  I may not be getting the Presidential Scholarship that I have worked so hard for.  🙁  I talked to someone who told me that the funding for scholarships might be cut and that they are currently looking at giving out that scholarship based on GPA - starting with the 4.0 students and working down to the 3.5s.  I only have a 3.656 (because of a D I got in 2001 - back when I didn't know how to drop a class), so I've worked damn hard to drag it back up and that is very disheartening.

Anyway, I'm trying not to get too down in the dumps over it just yet (until I know something for sure), but DANG.  I was really counting on that.  Student loans are still an option, but I will do that as a last resort.  I really don't want to graduate college closing in on 40 years old with a giant tuition debt.  🙁
