So, I'll admit, while I was watching the much anticipated (and kind of disappointing) season premiere of The Game I was secretly praying that the snow was going to escalate and lead to school closing. I closed all of the blinds in my apartment so that when I woke up this morning I would be pleasantly surprised by the mounds of snow covering the streets.
6:30 am the alarm goes off...twenty minutes and five snoozes later I get out the bed...only a dusting! SMH. Nonetheless, I check my email to discover that school will have a delayed opening; my 9:10 class won't start until 10:00am. Fair enough. I arrive at school at about 9:50am and, minus the custodial staff, it's pretty much a ghost town. The classroom door is locked, and there's no trace of a teacher in sight. Another classmate arrives about ten minutes later. At about 10:20 am when no one else arrives, we start to wonder. We check our schedules to confirm the room and class time, everything adds up, but something must be wrong.
Apparently, you can't trust the school registration system because it just might misinform you of the day of your class. To say the least, I have to do it all over again tomorrow.
To make the most of the day I decide to head to the financial aid office to make sure everything is in order. Although, I'm still convinced that God has jokes, I also believe there are no mistakes. Thankfully, a computer error got me to school today just in time to get on line with student accounts before the rush. But of course, never a dull moment.
Long story short, while there's evidence of the tuition I'm supposed to receive in the computer where everyone can see it, for some reason it's not accessible. Of course, the financial aid office would only have ONE WOMAN who could explain what's wrong, and she JUST HAPPENED not to be at work today! Incredible!!!!
So essentially, at this point, I'm convinced that there's an Ashton Kutcher out here somewhere. You got me, I've been punked! I'll be back tomorrow; hopefully with an entry about an actual first day of school and a successful solution to the case of the disappearing funding.
To be continued....again!
Hey sis...
ReplyDeletejust checking in; i see you have updated...lovely...I too was disappointed with the Game but hey thats what happens..sometimes, we anticipate great beginnings & are set up for high expections bc we believe just what we c -the good! We're let down bc we dont think about the hidden images & how they may not measure up to what we expect...
As far as your classes go, God was listening & always is. He wanted to make sure u were prepared & was giving u time to adjust your disposition Zuli. Remember, a mind filled with positivity and peace keeps u afloat bc God is able to work on u the way u want Him to.
Im half sleep so pardon me if it sounds like Im all over the place...Blessings
