Welp, LOTS of stuff has been going on lately, a lot of which most users already know about, and some random things, but there's some news I guess, both good and bad for almost everything and I wanted to share that.

MONEY

Most users know that I have been in a HUGE war with my school. My financial aid is supposed to cover the whole tuition and give me a huge refund like it has for the last 2 years, but that was never meant to be. A week after tuition was due, it still wasn't paid so I went and talked with the school and I learned that I wasn't getting any at all because I make too much money and I need to prove that I don't make money.

How do you even prove that? You can prove that you have a job but how is it possible to prove that you don't? I went to my agency and got some papers to show the school and after hours of battling, they processed my financial aid in front of me, gave me a bookstore gift card as well as enough money for the bus to last until I get the refund and promised me that I would get my refund within 3 days.

Sure enough tuition was paid but 3 days later got a $300 refund. Only $300, for some reason the school decided to cancel my $2300 refund. I went and battles some more and this time their excuse was that I wasn't full time. How could I not be full time if I'm taking more classes now than I ever did before?

Yesterday I had my final battle and apparently they still say I'm not full time but we were able to work something out. All I have to do is cancel all the credits that I got transferred from my old school and switch my major, and then they will re evaluate whether I will get a refund. So I did that and hopefully I can get the money.


INTERNET

The internet is a loser. On March 1st I believe I returned my internet to the library because it was due that day and then he next day I went to another library to take another one out but this one was broken, so I returned it on the 9th,but I couldn't find a library that had more available. On the 11th, after checking like 7 libraries, one library told me that the entire library system has stopped giving them out. So I was under the assumption that when people brought back the ones they had, the library would just send them back to wherever they got them from. I gave up and ever since then I have been limited to using the internet at school and on the train.

But something was up. On Saturday, the 26th, I was on the library website and when I looked up the internet, it said the ones that were taken out were due in the end of April. I figured maybe its people who renewed them, but I also figured they might still be giving them out so I emailed the library asking if it was true that they stopped giving them out. I got a response back today and it was just a list of the libraries that have them, so I figured maybe they do still have them.

The plan is to go to a bunch of libraries over the weekend and see if I can get one. If its true that they don't have them anymore, my plan is to buy an ATT plan for one month in the middle of April for $45 and then buy a freedompop device for $30 which will give me 500MB a month for life, which should be enough for my phone when I'm walking and at home.


LIFE

Life in general sucks. During the last 2 weeks, everything conspired against me, whether it was the letter that said I'm ineligible for the $600 a month for life that I'm supposed to get from the government, the stupid hospital stuff, or worst of all, the love stuff. The life stuff and my vizzed stuff are what went downhill the most, with what culminated as a weekend of pain and destruction. Literally over the course of maybe 40 hours, life went from free TGIFridays with friends and hanging out in pet stores to losing the motivation to go to school, or to do anything productive or even fun.

Thanks to the stuff that happened yesterday as well as a few cool users, things wont get better for a long time but can start heading in the right direction as of yesterday. I'm gonna be seeing a few movies today and hopefully that helps out as well.

(And yes, I wrote all this yesterday, so who knows, maybe things changed between then and when I post this, maybe I went on to see the movies already, who knows.

I'm really sorry that all this stuff is happening to you, dude. Any of these on their own really sucks, but all together...Ouch. I really hope things start getting better for you soon, man. What movies are you going to see today?

Things will get better. You just gotta stay positive, and try not to focus on the negative. I know it's tough but everybody has problems of some sort, and if we all only focused on the negative the world would be a pretty miserable place. 

Hang in there, it will get better!

Take all the time you need to get better, Zander. Whether it's a month or five months. Just don't let it keep you down forever. It's not worth it. Things may seem bleak, but remember that the rainbow always comes after the storm

A user of this : This morning I saw Zootopia and I'm gonna leave for London Has Fallen in a bit.

I did so much today, had to make sure to make a day so good that it cancelled out all the bad days, so not only did I watch an amazing movie, Zootopia, but I also went well out of my way to go sightseeing, and miracoulsy, with all the stuff I did, I made it to class 1 minute before it started. However, all the stuff I did before class was just half of my day, after I see London Has Fallen, I plan on going to the new Nintendo NY mega store as well as central Park.

Here are a few pics that I took after the movie during my very long sightseeing adventure, there's a pic of the Empire State Building, a pic of the World Trade Center, and a bunch of pics that were taken while I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge.

I'm glad you liked the movie. I was nervous that you would not like said movie. (you can PM me your real feelings for said movie ).  I've been toiling over what to reply. I don't know how long I've been on this reply maker so I leave you with this quote.
