It's never enough...

So I finally make a decision about going back to Purdue...hand in my rentry forms...and low and behold I am still encumbered. I ripped through all of my receipts from back in the day...I was positive I spent a year eating cat food so that I could pay the fuckers off. Armed with canceled checks and old credit reports I called the A/R guy at the admissions office. Luckily the guy was really nice about whole thing, but it turns out that all those loan payments the Department of Education squeezed out of me a few years ago were NOT for the Purdue account...imagine finding out 12 years later that you still owe over $1100...AND they won't let you in until you've paid it in full first!!! I was floored...talk about taking the wind of of your sails...mine was blown out of the sea with a grenade launcher.

After violently sobbing in my car in the parking lot listening to Disturbed 's Abyss really fucking loud, I decided to go back into work and get some perspective on the whole thing...the powers that be are laughing...what's one more obstacle? I still have a headache...I hate having my resolve tested.

I wanted to start back at Purdue in January 2007...guess now I have to wait till August 2007 cause that's how long it will take for me to pay off the gorram bill. Yeah I'm paying it. My life has hit a ceiling and I want my bloody degree even if it's just to walk on stage and wipe my ass with the paper so that world knows that Purdue did not get the best of me!
