some stuff

edenfallingNo work today -- I'd cleared it with Tax Boss that I'd have the day off since I needed to get some college things taken care of. So I caught a bus out to TC3 at noon, ate lunch in the dinky campus cafe, and met with my advisor at 2pm, after which I registered for two classes in the summer semester (English 102: Approaches to Literature [required] and Child Psychology) and two classes in the fall semester (American State & Local Gov't and Spanish 101). I then realized this evening that although I have been verbally told that I'm exempt from English 100, it's still on my degree program as an unfulfilled requirement, so... confusion! I will send my advisor an email about that in the morning, and also ask if she can remove a "planned" spring 2019 course from that program since A) I don't intend to take it, and B) I think it's mucking up the calculation of what requirements I've fulfilled and/or am scheduled to fulfill in upcoming semesters.
I also met briefly with someone from the financial aid department to ask about a weird line item on a statement I recently received, and also to ask about payment for the summer session. They're looking into the statement discrepancy, and apparently I'm supposed to pay for summer out-of-pocket with the aid refund checks they've sent me over the past month. So it's still all aid money; it's just passed through my bank account for a couple months. (I mean, yay interest, I guess?)
And then I went to the Stewardship committee meeting, where I got a list of people to call about making their pledges. I might tackle a few of them tomorrow if I have slow periods at Not the IRS, but I think Saturday and Sunday are more likely, really.
Right now I am cooking a batch of chicken, pepper, and onion in balsamic vinaigrette and soy sauce (plus a bunch of cumin, a bit of chili powder, and a cube of chicken bouillon because chicken dishes tend to taste weird if you don't dump bouillon on them, regardless of what other spices you use). That will burble merrily away in my crockpot while I sleep, and I'll package it into refrigerator containers sometime in the morning before I head in to work.
...
I am so close to having free time back. SO CLOSE.

Date: 2018-04-13 06:59 pm (UTC)And today I have made a preliminary application for the NY state part-time scholarship award program, and have started pulling together stuff for the 2018-19 FAFSA, so hopefully I can get my fall semester paid for entirely by free money. *crosses fingers*
