Voila!

Finally, some resolution! All I had to do from the beginning was get a hold of my old classmate Sasha who works for IRSC, because she has the best understanding of the system.Accordingly, I am officially [partially] funded for my Spring 2012 semester!
Which is great news, considering I was going to attend the first night anyways to obtain the syllabus for the course to try to get a head start, as well as touch base with my teacher & get back in the loop.
The 1 downside with the loop - some of the contents. Some of the people from my course aren't the brightest in the box, & the others are simply fake. Hopefully I don't attract too much attention when I attend tonight. I have a feeling it will be a large portion of my previous classmates.

We shall see...

IRSC Update

Though continuing my education is a priority of mine, dealing with IRSC is the opposite of ideal.
I couldn't take Fall 2011 classes due to my finances & scholarships being askew.
Then, I try sorting things out for Spring semester 2012, & I'm left clawing my way out of a hole yet again.
The latest set back - my Spring 2011 class grades weren't finalized until late summer due to my internship hours for Practicum, & upon their submission, 1 hand didn't speak to the other & somehow my hands are left empty. My scholarship thinks I didn't complete anything since this time last year.
On the contrary! I worked my TUSH off.
The forecast for this Spring is dark & gloomy.
However, spring showers brings Amber's 24th birthday - thus finally enabling me to qualify for independent status in the eyes of Financial Aid. I've been independent since the beginning of college, but my mortgage & lack of financial aid from my relatives was never enough.

Though I'll be gravely remissed to spend another semester out of the loop, Summer 2012 is looking fairly hopeful.
