"Dear Morsla..."

morsla"I am writing to inform you that your enrolment has been cancelled ... As you are no longer a student of the University, please return your student card to the Student Administration office.
If you with to be reinstated as a student, you must immediately apply to your Faculty for permission to enrol. If permission is granted, you will also be required to pay a Reinstatement Fee, currently $100..."
And on it goes.
It's been one of those days for opening mail. I was planning to defer Media for a year, while I did science honours and thought about how much I actually need another piece of paper. I don't think that I can afford to throw a hundred dollars at a course that I probably won't go back to, though - so I guess the decision is now out of my hands. Strangely enough, sorting out a degree that I wouldn't be studying this year wasn't high enough on my to do list - dealings with the uni have mainly involved science, of late, and now I seem to be paying for it.
Brightens my day wonderfully. At least I no longer need to juggle two simultaneous course enrolments, I guess. I'll be talking to Dave next week about the research project, and planning a year of looking at diamonds. Arts can take their paperwork, and insert it somewhere painful. Death by a thousand cuts, with the sharp bits on an envelope...
If anyone tries to make me sign any forms in the next few hours, I swear I will cut off both of their hands...
On a brighter note, I tried to cheer myself up by buying funky blue goggles out of my break-glass-in-case-of-emergency fund. They'll probably take a couple of weeks to arrive, but retail therapy (even in a virtual form) can do wonders.

Meh. Uni. What have tehy ever done for you?
Date: 2004-01-14 07:07 am (UTC)But at least now you can focus on shinies instead, without having to think about other things.
Hooray for shiny things!
And those goggles are just...weird.... and very cool.
I need funds I can put behind emergency glass so I can have retail therapy, too!

Date: 2004-01-14 05:41 pm (UTC)If I survive 'til November, I will have a degree in shiny things, to boot. That makes throwing away a course seem a little easier to take.
why?

Date: 2004-01-14 08:36 pm (UTC)Why am I threatening to cut off hands? I'm sick of paperwork.
Why the goggles? They are shiny, and my resistance is feeble.
If the why is about something else entirely, you'll have to be a bit more precise...
Re: why?
The thing with uni sux.... but then I've always known that uni sux.
Cutting off hands is understandable.
I'm off to
You up for some night wandering around the city? SMS me
Re: why?
