I really think my school is trying to give me ulcers. As it happens, I already have some. I've had them for years. BYU just loves to aggravate them.
Here's the skinny: Apartment people are ready for me to sign. Like, today. Well, I can't. And I can't because BYU is killing me slowly. On Thursday, I approved my loan amount. On Friday, I signed my new MPN. They said it would take 24 hours to alert the school. Due to totally pointless state holidays, BYU then had a 3-day weekend. As of this morning, my account still shows that they are awaiting my MPN (Master Promissory Note). So I called, after 8, as that's when they open. I got the closed office message until 8:45. Seriously. When I finally got someone on the phone, they were totally stupid. I was told that they had the MPN, but it would take 2-3 weeks to process. AND that the $ wouldn't be dispersed until the term started. Stop speaking, you imbecile. These loans are for the term that started in May.
Oh, well... there's nothing we can do to make the computers process it faster, but I can schedule a meeting for you with the person responsible for this mess. How is that???
So, I spoke too soon. I will likely loose that lovely apartment with the hardwood floors. Why did I fight so hard to stay at this school? I have hated it since Day1. So many semesters have involved battling stupidity like this, but never this bad.
It begs the question - how do you know when God is testing your resolve and when he's sending you a million signs to cut and run? Really, how do you know? My church talks a lot about the refiner's fire, but aren't you suppose to be pulled out before you get scorched/melted? I feel like I've spent the last year and a half at the end of my rope. My bishop was talking to me about clinging on to the end of the rope and I made a joke about using it to tie a noose. He wasn't amused.
