Rant about infuriating college situation utc

TL;DR: scholarship confusion bc nobody thought to send an email to me. I'll still technically be able to afford this term but I was still expecting the aid so I'm Big Mad

My college's office of financial aid is trying to say I don't qualify for a scholarship they told me I qualified for bc of [x reason]

Despite my asking if I qualified BEFORE LAST TERM because I saw the caveat of [x reason] and asked "hey does this mean I don't qualify?" AND THEY SAID IT WAS TERM-BY-TERM. AND THAT [x reason] WASN'T GOING TO STOP ME FROM GETTING A PARTIAL AWARD IN FUTURE TERMS AS LONG AS I MET THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS.

they're now saying [x reason] should've disqualified me outright and awarding me the partial amount for last term was an error on their end but they "didn't want to leave a balance on my account" which is. Interesting.

Mind you: I received zero communication about this. No emails, no notifications in the financial aid portal, zip zilch and squat. So no matter what, I'm pushing it until they at LEAST admit that this whole situation was caused by their horrendous lack of communication

I forwarded them the months-old email chain where they told me it was term-by-term. So hopefully I at least get a proper apology for. Y'know. Surprise lack of scholarship. I will admit i was a little cold in the email but that's 1.5k United States dollaroos I was mentally factoring out of the equation when I budgeted for this term. Kind of a big deal, pal.

Like I can cover my tuition for this term but like. I should have been told about this, right? SOMEONE should have emailed me? Literally anyone? Two sentences and an apology?

At rehearsal for an adaptation of Dracula tonight and almost everyone like. Hive mind melded and dressed in red and black formal gothic clothes

Aside from our Lucy and our Dracula, who are wearing extremely preppy casual clothes

It's amazing and I love it <3

Ughhhhhh I have a paper due tomorrow at noon for script analysis and I do NOT want to do itttttt

I'm stuck having to do an analysis of one of two scenes and I WANT to analyze a DIFFERENT scene entirely and I'm mad about it

TBF every single other person in this class is also complaining about this paper in particular so I feel justified being whiny about it lol

Loving the college experience in general but would it kill my presentation partner to have done their part???

all they were supposed to do was make a 4-page slideshow based on the notes I took at the event our presentation was about (which they did not attend!)

Instead I had to fix the one slide they'd made (which I'm pretty sure was Ch*tGPT summarized from my notes. So that's really cool and nice of them to do without my permission /s), fill out the other two slides, and add the visual aid they'd not added yet. And reformat it to look halfway decent.

AGH. Thank God (/gen) that we're being graded individually bc what the hell, man

Growing up homeschooled, my mom set our schedule up to where we didn't have a summer vacation but had a lighter workload all year/could take time out to do cool stuff kinda whenever it landed in the year.

This is my first summer break of my entire life.

I get it now

I put in for the day off for my one and only Weirdly Timed final and thought I was way too late (general rule is 2+ weeks since my team has a lot of deadlines and workloads need to be distributed evenly)

Thought I was gonna have to ask to leave early

Nope! Got approved and I found out at the time clock lol. Now I gotta figure out what to do between now and then bc my brain is pleasantly confused by Schedule Not Normal Schedule

At least I'll be prepared for my final! :D

My theatre class is attending a professional show of Into the Woods and I'm very excited but ALSO

Twenty minutes before I left the house my dog Nitro (my sweet baby bean with reactivity issues) chased a cat halfway up our back fence and *ripped a toenail clean off.*

So now I'm waiting in the meetup area vibrating with anxiety about him (despite knowing he's likely gonna be perfectly fine, if a little uncomfortable for a few days)
