Hey there. I'm really really sorry for disappearing for a while! For the past two weeks, I've been dealing with many problems in freshman college. My finals didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, my one week break before entering the first week of summer classes didn't really make me any less tired, summer enrollment (that usually lasts a week) was only scheduled for two days, and worst of all, I just got cut from my scholarship.
That last bit I feel needs some elaboration. See, my philosophy professor gave me an "incomplete" tag in my grade instead of an actual grade, and my scholarship stops subsidizing tuition fees immediately if ever I get either an incomplete or a failing mark on any subject. It wasn't even me; seriously, I wasn't expecting anything like this happening before last Monday. After all, I submitted all requirements the course asked me for on time, so naturally I'd be confused. Turns out my professor misplaced my final requirement somewhere, and that it wasn't his intention to do anything of the sort. ;;
I'm still hoping that there'll be a leeway I could take to get my scholarship back. But I imagine that would take weeks to get processed, as slow as our university is with those things. I still have to seek my philosophy professor's advice and perhaps a letter or an appeal of some sort from him, too. But I guess there's nothing I could do about that now. I simply had to pay full tuition expenses, and hope that a refund is possible if I get it back. Someone from one of the offices I visited told me I could do that, so I'll be holding on the hope that she's right.
Thankfully enrollment period was extended till the end of this week, too. I had to take care of the scholarship stuff I mentioned during those two days allotted for summer enrollment (bad timing, right?), so this was certainly a blessing. Gave me time to go through the building-to-building process of advising, validation, assessment, enrollment and payment. In the end, I was able to pay my tuition fee (just a few hours ago, as a matter of fact). I know it's way more than I was supposed to pay because I had no scholarship subsidizing fees, but I'm just glad I got through. Now I'm taking summer classes daily from 7am-10am, and I've never been happier.
I hope this means I can be back and post again! Here at PC. And hey, if you're still reading this, why not check out the new and improved The Welcome Lounge? It used to be called New Users / Welcome but they changed it and now it sounds cool and new. So go visit and post on some threads or whatever! Say hi to the newbies. :D
Also I just noticed that this is my second time in a row posting this kind of blog. That's not good, is it? :( I really hope this doesn't become a thing. I'll do my best with juggling all these obligations so that I can slowly increase my activity again.
I missed you guys a lot.
