OK. First of all, I'm ticked off at my job. They are threating to fire me because I clocked in late a couple of times, because I couldn't get to a computer in order to get clocked in, and then I was sick one day. I mean, do they seriously want me at work if I have a fever and am gagging? Especially since I work on the phone. "Please hold sir, while I go throw up..." Yea, that would be AWESOME customer service. I'm not even recieving my full benefits, but I can recieve full punishment for things I can't control? Thats not right.

Then, I'm so upset with the college. I asked them TWO MONTHS ago how much it would cost to live in the dorm this summer, and got told that most of the fees were waived, since I'm on finincial aid. Then, when I asked about living off campus, they said it would be no problem, just to make sure I informed them so I could sign some stuff. Then AFTER I sign a lease ssomewhere else, they say that I can't live off campus becuase I'm "not qualified". (Apparently I'm two classes short of meeting their standard for responsable enough to have my own place. Who decided that anyway?) So, I had went ahead and had to pay all the signing fees and so forth on an apartment I can't live in. And then, they tell me TODAY that I'm supposed to pay $650 dollars by 5 o'clock, or they will kick me out of the dorms and cancel all my fall classes. I have no idea why this wasn't told me two months ago when I asked, and actually could have gotten the money, or at least they could have called me last week so I could call and have my parents wire it to me by today.

Yea, so now I'm having to ask my BF for a loan. I'll pay him back later, and it will be all good in the long run. But doing this to me is BS. Work doesn't pay me till tommorow, and even then it would take my entire paycheck to cover that. I have no savings since I only recently started my new job, and had to fork over $100 for a lease I can't fufill. So, what do they excpect me to do?

O, and thats just for the first 6 weeks of summer, I'll get another bill for $600 more next week. At least they are telling me now so I have some time to figure out a way to pay it before they start canceling things. But they can tell me that I HAVE to live here, and pay thier prices? I'm not ALLOWED to find cheaper housing on my own? Thats legal, seriously?

I'm seriously considering finding a new college in the spring. I'm sooooo sick of this. This is far from the first time they've done something like this. And the housing department is the worst. No wonder the drop-out rate is so high. Not only are the classes hard, but most of the staff feel they can get away with anything, becuase most students are young adults with not much experince.

Well, I may be 19, but I know stupidity when I see it, and this is getting stupid. If this persists into the fall, I will seek higher education elsewhere. Possably someplace where I don't pay $300 a month for an un-airconditioned room with peeling paint, 50 year old carpet, and bathroom stall I have to share with three other girls, and not get told about the full expense till the day its due.
