Third time's a charm?
Nov. 10th, 2014 12:47 amSo... I'm giving up on college. I don't know yet if this is a semi-permanent decision or not, but I'm just really... done.
It's just been one thing after another and honestly, I'm just really done with it all.
I think the first blow when I was scrambling to get myself together was basically being told "you have to apply yourself more" after I confessed some very serious financial issues to him, followed by being told I'll be thrown out of the program at this rate.
The second blow was being told I'm basically failing if I don't get straight As on EVERYTHING between then and now, which was already impossible considering my circumstances.
Did they expect me to heroically live in a box while getting perfect grades?
And the last blow came when I called OSAP, asked how the processing was going, only to be told it wasn't going because I didn't "submit my agreement form". I told her it was impossible, and she took a few minutes, found it, and said she was changing my status. So talking business days, it'll be 2 business days to recognize the change, at least 7-14 more days for the government to verify my funds, then another 5-7 days to disperse said funds. All in all, I am looking at 2-3 extra weeks, at the end of November.
Worse of all, because I was expecting my OSAP, I'm back to being maxed out because I bought school supplies and ate at the school on certain days. So now, I'm stuck in a bad situation where I have to attend work to make money and pay off my bills. The eviction notices are back, by the way.
I haven't appreciated how I've been treated at all throughout this.
Thanks, education system. You guys are a piece of work.
After this, I really don't know if I'm completing any kind of education. It's all a load of horseshit, future financial stability be damned. I'm not suffering that kind of disgrace again.
