I am alittle annoyed, and I have been for a few days now.  I was trying to submit an application for a fellowship, perhaps something good might have come out of it, but I could not get the application together in time.  Part of the reason was that I did not receive a letter of recommendation that I was expecting.  I asked my boss the day before thanksgiving, and he said yes, then I still didn't receive it after reminding him a couple of times.  A second problem was that I did not receive an official copy of my transcript.  There were two schools that I have not heard from, but the weirdest thing is that I sent out the requests on the same day that I sent out the requests to schools in New York.  I received all of the transcripts that I requested from schools located in New York, with time to spare, but not the local ones, one in Valparaiso and one from Chicago, from when I was in the military.  So, that makes two reasons that I could not finish the application.  But, two are from the same place.  And although I received a second copy from the school in Valparaiso after I emailed the Registrar's office, it arrived a day late.  So I am wondering why are the things from this school not received?  It was after I asked myself this question that an answer sort of popped into my head; there may be questions pertaining to my Law School studies, in particular the grades that I received although I was able to continue my schooling and was able to graduate.  So if that is the problem, then the only solution is to talk about it, isn't it?  But there is a reason that I did not want to talk about it, I don't want to enable people or rather the students, or give them a ready reason for their own problems.  No matter how often people may go through similar things, they don't have to be for similar reasons.  If they can't figure it out, why give it to them, especially when there is an air of superiority in dealings with them otherwise?  So, one of the problems was that my exam was not graded as other students exams were graded.  In this instance my exam had a plethora of answers on it, correct answers, but they were not graded as being correct.  It is rather fitting that this person should get to continue their education, isn't it?  Then a female worker had the audacity to exclaim that the answers were added to the exam after the fact.  Funky, isn't that?  As if!  I don't see a reason to talk to the problem makers.  So maybe next time the things will get done, or they will "just say no."

So,  pop yourself into a community junior college for a couple
or three semesters, do well, and transfer out.  They're cheap
enough to attend without a fellowship.  If you happen to be
religious, maybe it will also educate some of that out of you,
but I won't be holding my breath.
