Phone Call From Leavenworth
Mar. 1st, 2014 11:06 pmI think my muse is back, at least for a little while. I've written 13,400+ words since Sunday night. My Anatomy grade has slipped to a B, but I'm going to consider that an acceptable tradeoff.
L5R stalled out again, due to venue issues. I think we've got those solved, although it means a longer drive to and from gaming. I'll take it. I want this game to go off, and be a good one, to a great degree because I'm really starting to believe that this is going to be my last regular gaming in Lexington.
On that front, this week saw more movement. My student aid report revealed one little hurdle, a default of $74. I'm one for picking my battles, so I just paid the amount - $74 isn't enough of a hill to fight over when $70K in aid is on the table. Friday afternoon, I get a call from the EdDept's default resolution center, and no lie, I expected to end up beating my head against my desk when I saw that number flash up on my phone. After confirming that I was, in fact, me, the caller started apologizing. Turns out that not only was the default record in error, I was owed some money instead. Holy cow. So, the appropriate university departments get notified, and one more hurdle is cleared. With this resolved, and the final old transcript submitted, things are now out of my hands. If this is going to happen, it'll be at the pleasure of the universities.
Got a fantastic surprise from one of my gaming buddies last night - a shiny new copy of Pandemic! Assuming the early March edition of Snowmageddon doesn't make such things impossible, we're going to break this sucker in at tomorrow's game day.
