Okay, it's now explanation time!  Remember this quote?
Say that I'm receiving $38 in overpayment then suddenly take that away and make me pay $59.
...here's the story behind that.

I have signed up for summer courses at university...four 8 week courses @ 3 credit hours each = 12 credit hours.  12 credit hours on the internet (completely on the web...no face-to-face) ran $1,392.  I had a $1,430 grant to cover it...hence the $39 overpayment (any non-tuition specific aid is given to you in cash).  All of a sudden, on the day above, they added some fees (still can't get a straight response about what it was) and jacked me up $97, hence the payment of $59.  Argh.

But it gets better.

I found two scholarships...one $300 one and another that should pay for all tuition up to $1,500.  I have applied for both...and probably will get both.  Therefore, I will not be paying a dime, and university could pay up to that $1,430 to me (for books and other supplies).

Still not looking forward to $750 of certification exams, though....

Anyone think I should reverse the peephole to my room like Kramer did on Seinfeld? I've already checked and the peephole does come out... :rofl2:

Never seen The Office, never had the urge to.  I have heard its a good show, though.

Probably cause you have mod powers. Dunno how to remove that particular power though. I would if I could though, because I really would rather not have anyone other than Stephen, Kyle, and I getting those.
