new semester has started this week.

From the first day, I was crazy.

Because my scholarship didn't apply to my tuition bill, the business office gave me almost $6000 bill for this semester. of course I cannot afford that amount of money, so I just had waited. Then the problem occured. The business office dropped all my courses, and they said if I don't pay the bill I cannot restore my schedule. oh my god. I was totally in panic.

To solve this problem, I had to go student business services office, department office, financial office during first two days. I requested some documents I need to apply my scholarship to the tuition bill, but school officers said it takes several days to process document works. So finally I decided to apply for the emergency tuition loan from the school.

As a result, I could get my schedule back, and I have no problem to take classes in this semester now. Left over things are complete the paper work for scholarship, and repaying the loan. and... study hard.

Last a couple of days were pretty stressful day. What I've learned in this situation was that I have to really thank my parents. it must be very hard for them to make such a big money, but they always gave me money for my tuitions during last several years without big complaint. How can I repay all the favors they gave to me..T_T; This case gave me strong motivation to study hard, and being well to the time of the graduation. Aza!

Rainy day

It has rained almost all day today.

In the moring, I gave Joseph a ride, and went to bought a liability auto insurance at Farmers, and went to the Tax office to transfer the ownership of my new used car. I spend almost all morning time on the car-related business, but I couldn't finish the ownership transwer. since I made some changes on the Title, the officer said there's a possibility of rejection of Title as is, so it'd be better to fill out the affidavit form. so, I have to visit the tax office again sometime soon after filling the form out... -.-;

as soon as the car stuffs are done, I went to the office right a way. I did take-out a classic sandwitch from McDonald's for a lunch. When I got the office, Remy said, it seems that out of memory errors occur at my EDI parsing code, so I re-viewed my EDI parsing code. It turns out that my parsing code works fine, and we guessed that the MS RS seems to have some bugs on it.

in the evening, I went to the Rec center..=)

and read some papers.

good night.

First post!
