Im getting tired of this.

I had a pretty good weekend. Wednesday night I took Becca from work out for her birthday. We both had some pretty good food and a good time. Then later that night I went up north near Two Harbors with my family. It was my dad's birhtday on friday, and we went to old country buffet for supper. Then on saturday my family and I went to Gooseberry Falls and had a picnic lunch and chilled out my the lake and walked to some of the waterfalls. Sunday we came home. I finished 2 books while I was up there.
Then when I got home I checked all my e-mail accounts. when I got to my U of M account I found out I had and e-mail from the financial aid office. It turns out that the SELF loan I applied for got cut by $3,000. I called them up at work yesterday to find out why. It turns out, a credit that I got free from high school from Dakota County Tech College was not transferable. And therfore I am at 59 credits and labeled a sophmore. I am supposed to have 60 and be a junior. I actually have been having trouble with this credit for some time. I recieved a letter from the office of admissions a couple of weeks ago saying that they need transcripts from DCTC. Well I never went there. So I talked to a transfer specialist and he said get a letter from the DCTC stating that you never enrolled or took classes and it will be resolved. Well the next day I got an e-mail from him, and he said that he talked to his higher up and the issue is resolved. I was fine with this until that damn e-mail about the financial aid. So I am going to the campus on wednesday to see if I can get the credit re-instated. I actually found the certificate for the free credit. It is actually from Inver HIlls Communit College, where I went for my A.A. degree. So there is light at the end of the tunnel. It's now a week before school starts. I really wish they didn't pull this crap this close to the start of school. Oh well I am off to the state fair today with my buddy Dan Heintz. Later all.
