Well, I got home from work tonight and some mail was sitting on the counter for me, conflicting aura's of good and evil clashing about them. Deciding to put off the inevitable anger and/or jaw dropping shock that usually comes with opening a letter from "The Place Which Shall Remain Nameless". I instead eat a nice dinner of Vanilla Pepsi and hot wings. mmmmmmm wings. Having finished my meal, and with Futurama stranding me in the void of a commercial break, I reached for the mail. Deciding that I'd rather get good news first, I reached for the plain white envelope, which I had already guessed contained my Iced Earth concert tickets :). After securing the ticket, I forced my hand to grab the other letter.

Now, Before I tell you what was IN that letter, let me say something about how I view the world. When you do something good, achieve a goal, finish something noteworthy, I feel that it's only right to let you know that I appreciate that action. For example, Your choice of hockey teams wins the championship, do you cheer on their good fortune, or dwell on the fact that the one game you actually went to see, they lost, and refuse to acknowledge their victory? If your a politician, and someone contributes a large sum of money to your campaign, it's only right that you thank that person for their commitment to you, right?

Where was I....Oh yea, the Letter. Over the course of 3 years, I have put a significant amount of time, effort, and a tractor trailer full of my hard earned cash towards my education. This education was conducted entirely at one particular university. I have suffered through bad weather, boring professors, professors that don't even bother to show up, BS projects, innumerable paperwork errors that have dragged out my efforts to graduate by multiple semesters, constant scheduling conflicts and an administrative service that makes post-conflict Iraqi government look like the model of efficiency...And the only thing they can send me in the mail is a notice that I have 10 days to sign paperwork showing that I intend to pay off my student loans.

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!

Is it so much to ask that I get a little card in the mail saying "Congratulations on Graduating! Thanks for attending Kent State!" before they hit me up for more god damn money? It's freaking RUDE! Not to mention that they owe me apologies for losing half my damn paperwork more than once, and me having copies is the only thing that bailed them out! Having seen first hand what state universities do, I really wish I'd have applied to some private schools like where my sister is going...They handle things much better at them >:[
