So I got a letter today from Portland State University (PSU) claiming I owe them $1,287.23 from last semester. I don't know where this charge is coming from. When I call PSU they say it was a portion of your tuition last semester that was not paid, therefor you are being billed for it now and it is accruing interest each month. Here's the thing though, I can show that I payed over $6,000 last semester to PSU, and that was for only 2 classes. Now they want to say I owe another $1300? Where do people get off thinking they can do shit like this. I know for a fact that my account balance was $0 when I transfered out of PSU, otherwise they wouldn't have released my record.

Add this $1300 to the $4000 I owe St. Mary's Hospital in Reno from when I had food poisoning and my "insurance" decided they would only cover $1100 of it and I'm $5300 in debt to NON-FINANCIAL institutions. Just when I was getting over my credit card debt I am dealt a new burden.

I have less than $100 in my bank account, and no sign of significant money coming into my hands any where in the near future. I need a job that pays well fast.

Oh and by the ways...my car is falling apart and needs over $1500 worth of work.

Whoo Hoo!

So school started yesterday and I'm proud to say that I have done something for the first time in about 6 years. If you guessed I went to all my first classes, you would be right. For the past 6 years or so, not only would I not go to the first class, but I would miss the next 5 or 6 as well. It's something I'm not proud of but thats in the past.

The last time I went to all my first classes, I ended up pulling 5 A's and 1 A-, lets hope this time is the same.
