Really Really Really Bad News · 2:57am Mar 5th, 2013
I have been having a heck of a week guys. I'll spare you all the minor details and just cut to the big one:
I had the remainder of my Pell Grant money turn up missing ($1800). I have no proof it was stolen but I have my suspicions. I have filed a police report and have already contacted my insurance who hopefully can refund, at least in part, the money that is missing.
I'm not the religious sort, but at the same time I have no objections to anyone who will tell me "I'll keep you in my prayers."
I almost hate to post this here, I feel like I'm begging. Especially after the incident at Unicon, I feel like some people might try to take advantage of our community's good will. I certainly don't want to be looked at that way.
I guess in the end all I'm doing is venting, but I suppose you all want to know how my story is coming along eh? Well admittedly not as well as I would have hoped/expected, and that is certainly saying something. It currently clocks in at just under 8500 words.
Say what you will, this is pure laziness on my part, and I do apologize. I know I don't owe anyone anything, but I did say I would do it, and I will do it.
Thanks for reading my ranting, I love you all.
I wish you luck with the insurance. I have a recurring illness, so I talk to insurance people all the time--they can be surprisingly reasonable if the rules allow them to be. (And if they're not reasonable, there's probably some school official who's on a first-name basis with them and is authorized to help you--you just need to comb through the bureaucracy enough to discover his or her existence.)

Yeah I'm sure there is something, perseverance is certainly beneficial in such situations. Thanks.
I wouldn't have any tips of sorts, but simply and I regret this is all I can say. But, good luck and have a quote.
"Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more." - Louis L'Amour
"We do hereby command the Leaders of the Hebrew, Catholic and Protestant Churches to sanctify and have us crowned Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico." - Joshua A. Norton 'Emperor of the United States, and Protector Of Mexico'
Anyway, goodluck
Fucking hell, I wish you luck, that's really awful to hear. I'm afraid i'm skint right now so I can't offer anything more than a shoulder if you need to vent. Keep us posted on how things go.*offers a hug*

I wouldn't accept any money yet if it was offered. Not to say I wouldn't later on. I just wouldn't feel right until both the police and the insurance finishes with their investigation. Then I could see how much I actually lost, if you know what I mean. But thanks for the words, I'll always say words of true friends are worth more than gold.
