Okay, so I am officially going crazy. At least, it seemed that way this morning. RL smacked me upside the head with a steel-tipped bat.

So. My college sent out the bill for housing, tuition, what-have-you earlier this week, according to their website. So I wait. And nothing comes in the mail, but I figure, okay, fine, it has to be forwarded through my post box on campus before it gets to me.

And nothing comes in the mail.

This morning, I get up and search the mail -- finding nothing -- and search the site with my monthly statement on it -- it tells me I have no charges for August -- and DIG around on the housing site, and finally call the business office... and they tell me that I have to look at the NEW student site.

And there it is.

My bill.

Due TOMORROW.

HOLY F***.

I call back. Me: "Can I put it on a credit card over the phone?" Representative: "Nope. I recommend Western Union." *hang up* *dial* Me: "Hello, Western Union? How much to send over $3000.00 to my college?" W.U.: "About $180.00" Me: "Fuck all."

So. I spend the rest of the morning on the phone bouncing back and forth between the business office, my dad at work, and the housing office, trying to 1) figure out how to break down my bill, 2) figure out how housing is charging me this year, and 3) what exactly I owe.

THEN. RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS.

*ring ring* Me: "Hello?" Dude: "Hey, this is your new cell company. Your old cell company is not giving your number to us. We need you and your dad to come down to the store and sign a liability form."

So my Mum and I rush to the bank to get an overnight delivery for this huge check. And then Dad and I go to the kiosk we bought my phone from and wait for nearly 45 minutes while the guy calls a million people to track down this damn form, because apparently this has NEVER happened before.

And this is all occurring when I SHOULD be at home waiting for a phone call from Dell about fixing my currently buggered laptop!!!
