Scholarship stuff
July 10 2006
My lotter scholarship was not showing up on Eagle Online. There was nothing that I could do - or so I thought. Through a remarkable turn of events, I found that I should still be getting the lottery scholarship this Fall because of GPA and hours and the like. Anyway, it was not showing up, so I went and talked to this woman named Carmelitaionaoijwlmaiqwanlib in Financial Aid. Let us refer to her from this point on as Dumbutt. Anyway, Dumbutt said that I wasn't receiving the HOPE scholarship because of my 1.917 GPA at 25 hours. Well, it turns out that 9 of those hours were from before HS graduation. So I shouldn't have reached the 24-hour benchmark until the end of this past semester, when I had a 2.9 GPA. I should have had at least a 2.75 at the benchmark to retain the scholarship, which I had.
Anyway, Dumbutt told me that I had lost the scholarship because of the GPA thing. I, livid and Irish as I am, had a shot of rum and fired off two identical, polite emails to Adriane King and Polly Burns. I can't remember why them now (more the aftereffects of the lividity than the rum), but I emailed them. Adriane got back to me today and let me know I didn't have the HOPE because they hadn't gotten my FAFSA stuff yet. They have it now and I've got the HOPE added on to my account. Dumbutt is a dumbass.
Anyway, I'm now waiting for my UAS to be added to my account. When that finally happens (and I'm praying very hard about all of this coming through), I should end up being owed About $120 by the university for this semester. So, naturally, I am quite elated right now. Anyway, I've got to head out for dinner at my grandparents.
p.s. For any of you who watched the World Cup finals: France was robbed. Forget about the whole Zidane headbutt thing. Italy's goal should have been counted as a foul - if you watch the play, you can clearly see the Mafioso shoving a French defender down to get enough air for the header. Note also that that was the bastard that got headbutted for hurling horrible accusations at Zidane. I'm about irate enough to fly to Italy and kick his candy ass. Still, I remain elated.

italy played an amazing game... and as someone once told me... attitude is everything... so it was Zidanes fault that he headbutted the italian. the penalty was called. the french got what they deserved. viva la italy.

I didn't say Zidane didn't deserve the red card. I don't shirk from doling responsibility where it is due. I just think that, you know, the other guy should have been penalized. Think about it - he gets the penalty, no goal. The entire fate of the game is changed. Sure, Italy may have scored later, but because of an infinitely different past, the future is infinitely different as well. Also, the French did not get what they deserved. They dominated at least 80% of the game. They deserved the win. As I said - the Italian goal should have been a foul.
