here fishy fishy
So here's a fishy story. I just got an email from OSU--not that fishy yet--from the transportation and parking center. Since I didn't have a car on campus when I lived in a dorm, and will be living off campus next year, this warrants me to raise an eyebrow.
Now add the fact that the email was stating that I owed the University $100 in parking tickets, and that if I didn't pay, I wouldn't be able to schedule classes, receive grades, graduate....pretty much I would just be stuck in college limbo for the rest of my life.
Ok, so now's the part where I bring up the fact again that I did not have a car on campus last year. Hmmm. No car. Yet I owe money for parking tickets. Was I standing still for too long or something? Cue me yelling at my computer.
After yelling at the email, I decided to go with an actually sane idea and call the department. Too bad the office was closed--only open during all the hours I'm either stuck up to my elbows in mud or in the middle of a field with a tree on my back at work. Cue me yelling at the phone.
So now the clock is ticking (I have 13 more days to appeal my charges)--cue me yelling at the figurative clock... and it's not like it's a huge amount of money to pay. I could just pay the money and get it over with as one friend suggested. College limbo vs. $100. But nahhh...I'm thinkin I'm a bit too stubborn for just payin up. Plan A) I'm gonna keep trying to make contact during my lunch breaks at work. Plan B) umm...doesn't quite exist yet. But I've always been a Plan B kinda gal, so I'd better come up with one soon....in 13 days, to be exact....
