Good on you, msbelle. Even though I have no idea what exactly that girl is doing.

Some of my friends from Guilco on fb are reaching out to Taylor with info, both on and off fb. Shit, I might have to start giving to the scholarship fund. (I had very very very testy dealings with the bursars/F.Aid office during my time there. It was, at the time, so poorly run, it broke my confidence in their ability to responsibly manage donations. Also, I really resented being pressed into cold-calling for $$ as a part of one of my scholarships. ) I loved the school, feel I got an excellent education, was cognizant of the insularity of such a small school, and got really tired of crunchy-granola-hippies, tie-dye, blond dreadlocks and tattoos. But I truly learned how to be a fast and flexible learner, how to think creatively and effectively communicate. Which is what I think undergrad should do. Many of my peers went on into careers that appeared to have nothing to do with their majors, which I think just shows the effectiveness of Guilco. CN-midwives, drs who were english and polisci majors. Math majors who now as lawyers have amicus briefs before the SC.
I need to get over the screaming matches I had over in New Garden Hall with the Bursar.
he has Minecraft Burrell, he is just obsessed with Pokemon.
Okay, just an update on healthcare shenanigans, I submitted a receipt for reimbursement for 2 dental fillings.
The FSA rejected it, literally saying "Reason:
"
So no reason given. I mean goddamnit, these people want me to lose my shit on the phone, don't they?
Hrm, more cop activity at the alley Across Ellesrlie (this is a 'hood dividing line) and it sounds like the cops are exchanging exuberant arrest stories. Loudly. Which makes me wonder if it just happened. And what the hell it was, since they've been a pretty visible presence the past couple of weeks.
Well, le nubian, I wonder if you can reject their rejection since it's for no reason?
le nubian, I feel you on the reimb failover bullshit. Mine was the kind where I don't lose the money with the switched plans, but the info about how to submit last year's was so contradictory, I just threw in the towel.
It shouldn't be this hard.
I finally gave up the HSA because I cannot manage it!
Yay Taylor!
I watched witched at Birth, but I am very behind!
Thanks for all the Taylor love. She did it. I'm just awed by this kid. I didn't have that kinda gumption when I was where she was, I was a lazy overachiever. I honestly look at her drive versus my privilege, and think that it ridonkulous she's not getting offered a full ride to places. She's a much better prospect than I ever was, even if my educational background was stronger. She's not going to coast, as I did and have. She's hungry and a fighter and reaching. I admire her.
witched at Birth
This sounds like a very different show, but I'd totally watch it.
