I visited the financial aid office to determine whether I need to complete anything else in order to receive a dependent student override, but unfortunately, the lady merely gave me the Department of Education phone number with instructions to call them. I doubt this will prove fruitful. I get the impression I am supposed to do something through the school office, from how I was handled by the last person I met with. Speaking with some government operator won't get me anywhere. Plus, I have to wait until I find a new battery for my phone. No one is online right now to give me a ride. Mein Leben ist die Scheiße.
Rather than scream at the unhelpful financial aid counselor lady, I calmly took the card she gave me and walked out of the office, with determination now to return to the Lauree Lair to read for a while. This is the only day I have had neither school nor work. I packed most of my worldly possessions, and will move into my summer dorm room Thursday afternoon. Then I have five or six days' respite before beginning work with the residence halls. It ought to be easy.
