Hey Universe....Suck it.

Have you ever got an innocuous letter in the mail only to open it and get a bitch slap that sends you reeling?

Yeah, I got one of those today. Here I am, thinking I've got my school costs all covered and no worries and I get a letter basically saying I'm not getting the money I was counting on. Thank god I was able to call right away and got someone very helpful on the phone. I'm always pathetically grateful when someone kind answers the phone. Anyway, this lovely young lady calmed me down, and she thinks it can all be cleared up with a new application to Alberta Student Loans, and hallelujah - I may still get an edumacation after all.

And thank god I have very few problems in life that can't be cleared up with a phone call, a desperate plea for help and listening to Sweet Jane on repeat. (Velvet Underground, not Cowboy Junkies. That version will make you want to slit your wrists. Not helpful.)

That, and Scrooged is on tonight. Nothing cheers me up like old school Bill Murray.

Glad to hear things can be sorted out. The Alberta Student loan letter writing people don't realy know how to communicate very well. Expect to get three or four letters every semester telling you to start paying them back. Enjoy Scrooged! Classic Bill Murray movies are a great antidote to crappy days.
