Shout your Frustraitions to the World

Oh I swear I am going to blow a freakin gasket!!!
So I went to go get my books so I could start classes yesterday, and low and behold... my loans have been canceled!! The freakin school couldn't email me or call me to tell me I had to reapply, even though I got a letter from the bank stating that the loans were already processed and on their way. Noooo leave it to the last freaking minute so I won't be able to buy books until, Heaven knows when the damn money will get here.. So I am SOL.. Up a creek without a paddle, and any other thing you can think of. Son of a damnit! I am so pissed off, I am dropping out of this school and starting a new one, that I can do at home online and be working for a bachelors instead of a second associates degree. Oooh that makes me mad. How can the financial aid dept do something like this without warning people.

Hypersensitivity to light. I haven't been able to look at light for a few days, even dim light...very very painful. Saw the doc today. The verdict? Virus. WTF? Yes, that's my complaint of the day, Eyeball Virus.

I hate reading manual or user guides.

I hated it that I had to work today. It was 32F with 25MPH winds and sporadic snow.

*rant* How about this, due to a screw up in my school's class-sign-up system I wans't able to register for labs until a few days after other students and I have a lab at 6-9PM on a Monday. My last class prior to that ends at (wait for it.. wait for it) noon! I live an hour away so it woudl be kidn of wasteful to go home so instead I am stuck at uni. Gross...! */rant*

Went to take some pictures of a small waterfall near work at lunch last Friday only to find out there was hardly any water going over it. So no good shots of rushing water and I got poison ivy for my troubles. The itching is driving me crazy!

My viewfinder broke!!

what I have to put some shouting in the thread

and yes its bust - but its not as bad as is sounds, just that the eye cover was always a bit loose and today its little clip broke off. So now the eyecover will lift out without any resistance - not much of a pain when shooting (till it falls off and I don't notice)

WTH!!!! OOh I am soo pissed...
So I had trouble with my school and their stupid financial aid dept. I was able to transfer to a university, and they told me that I would go in as a Junior.. Well NOW they tell me after they looked at my transcript (I have 96+ credits) that only 40 of them transfer and 8 of those 40 don't count. So now I am not sure where that puts me on the grand scheme of things credit wise. I am so freaking pissed.
I was looking at graduating in May of 2010 and now it looks like it will be after that... OOOH..
On top of my schooling dilemma, my husband just got his financial aid information and didn't get a grant, his loans weren't big enough to cover tuition, and so now he is pissed off to the point where he thinks his life sucks. OOOH I can't deal with this. I am almost being driven to drink I am so mad!

STEP AWAY FROM THE DRINK

seriously there is no help or escape in the bottle - just another problem to replace your others. If you even thing about heading down that line dunk all your booze down the sink! (or toilet or bath - but dont bathe in it!)

First stage talk to the university - in particular talk to the department head of the department/subject that is your core area of study. Universities are a bit more lax and flexable to personal situations so talk to people - don't just deal with the offical channel (that only works according to the book). If you have an interst and a keeness to learn as well as good mind you might be able to talk your way in.

Also remember that there is always another way through things - try your best at one rout and if that fails pick yourself up and follow another (often the picking yourself up part is the hardest part).
Also (and this might sound silly) but speak to your husband or a friend (heck speak to an online friend if you need to) but speak to someone - stay in communication with your thoughts and feelings (should do this with husband always). Not to run a constant depression trip but just so as you keep things outside and not bottled all up inside.

You will get through this

!
Good luck!

oh and I haven't seen any photos from you in aaages - (unles I have missed them) get some R&R and do some shooting - or painting/running/reading/yoga/boxing - something that you enjoy doing that will take your concentration or tire you out - get your mind off things for a short while to help it from running in endless circles (minds are better at this than dogs chasing their tails!)

:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

I only laugh because I know the pain...to an extent, the gless in my AE-1 view finder broke and fell into the body completely last year. It's fixed now but still, it completely sidelined the camera, I could not see through it at all.

The exact same thing happened to me a while ago. I super-glued it back together and it's been working perfectly for the last year (?).

Do you have the piece that broke off?
