 I just got an email telling me if I don't pay my bill, my school will drop my summer classes. Since I already applied for aid and all, I checked my bill. Turns out the school is asking that I pay them $-4,184.50. I would be more than willing to take that $4,184.50 off their hands, but I'd rather they not get upset and drop my classes! lol I called to straighten it out. Turns out they close at 4:30 and I called at 4:36. Guess they cleared out of there quick!
So what have your schools done to you to anger, confuse, amuse, or annoy you?

Well for three years my school has told me that they could help me self design my major no problems! I have gone from "Take anything and everything with Japan in the title" to "Well, you have to go to another school as a exchange school" to "You have to go abroad" to "There is nothing we can do".
So, now I have to transfer after pretty much wasting my Junior year. The other two got all my core out of the way at least. Plus USM always messes up my financial aid and makes me pay the late fees and they never get me sign up for classes on time.
...Here is hoping my new school is better!

Ouch...here's hoping your new school will work out well.
I called my school. Turns out I owed them $23. That $-4000 is my load for fall semester. Turns out the nice lady I talked to hates the online system and says it's really confusing, then let me pay the $23, and went above and beyond by telling me that if I don't need the school health insurance I can decline it and told me exactly how to do it. I think I love that lady.

My school is a fan of not helping you at all when it comes to signing up for classes.
We run on a trimester system and when I was signing up for the Spring trimester (the one I'm in now) the online system randomly decided to remove me from all but two of the classes I had signed up for, essentially making me a part-time student.
I tracked down my advisor (a hard tasks seeing as how she's a queen b***h) and got her to sign the needed forms to sign up for the classes I needed by hand. I go to the registrars office to sign up for the classes and the lady tells me that I can't sign up anymore as they closed the sign up the day before. The day before happend to be TWO WEEKS before the next trimester started. She told me that I would need to go over to my dean and get him to send the form back to them as an "Administrative Add."
This is basicall how the convo went after that:
Me: So I need to go over to my dean and have him send it to you so you can add it?
Her: Yes.
Me: Does he need to give you a password or something so that you can do this?
Her: No.
Me: So you could technically just do it now, but you wont unless I schedual an appointment with the dean, who I'm sure is a busy man, to ask him to go out of his way to send my add slip over here telling you to add classes for me?
Her: Exactly.
Me: This is bullshit.
So I went to my dean's office only to find out that I was one of many students this happend too. My dean then recomended that I just wait and make sure to be at the registrar's office when it opens the first day of classes with my add slip in hand and add the classes then.
Meanwhile, I'm panicing that they're going to take away my dorm room because, for about a week, I was technically a part-time student. *sigh*

biggrin Since the 9th grade (I have graduated and been out of highschool a year now) I have been the Terrosistic bomber of the prom. *Stands proudly* I have gone to 3/4 of those proms, and one after I graduated. I proudly say, the gym is going to stand for many more years. (Rumor is probally still there)
I have been sexually harassed, mentally harassed, and physically abused at school since middle school. All teachers have ignored me.
In highschool it still happened. But the teachers joined in too.
By my senior year I was in the office every other day because of something else someone said I said. My principal was sexist and judgemental. The only thing he did was make the sexual harasser stop talking to me. My science teacher harassed me and threaten to flunk me. She also went through my personal things which were sitting on a chair in the library, my art binder and books in the center corner of the table. Found one of my Yaoi books and turned it into the office, after going through my things saying they fell on the floor. Then tried to tell me I was in the wrong. (Sorry I'm not straight...)
All my friends moved away with the exception of the one the school forced out because she paid for her summer school courses, passed them, and they denied her the credits.
My band directior (also neighbor) gave me ISS for saying p***s. Instead of cussing out the guy who daily and frequently called me a b***h, not the mention the girl on the other side of the feild screaming obsense words.
They also put me in all the classes I didn't need. I never got any of them I actually asked for. I was trying to take art classes for when I went to college. (I wanted to be a manga artist.)
So all in all, my school ******** me over one side and then the other. ^ ^
Oh yeah, I was called Lesbian behind a tree ((??? Don't know how they got that)), Freak, weirdo, and if you called me psyco my lil sis kicked your a**, Everything I said was a terrosistic threat on someone. And everyone was totally aweful.
I killed them all with kindness.
