(Ramblings) Fuck You Student Loans

I submitted an application to New Brunswick Student Financial Assitance (aka Student Loans) back in May.  They asked for a form to be filled out, which took a month to get to me, and I sent it in at the start of June.  Since then they have yet to process my application.  They acknowledge that they have received the requested form, yet everytime I call them they claim that that is why it's being held up.  That is, they claim that's the issue until I tell them that I personally delivered it to their offices and they check and confirm that they have it.  At that point the excuse becomes "Well, we have a large number of applications, so we're backed up."  It would be a nice excuse except I know two people who applied in July for terms starting in the Fall that have had their applications processed.  After that they run out of excuses and tell me it should be processed shortly, something they've been telling me since June.

As of right now I'm borrowing money from my parents to pay my rent and to buy food, I've got UNB's Financial Services Department bugging me to pay my fees and charging me interest on the unpaid amount.  At the current rate I'll be lucky to get my loan for the summer before I receive my loan for the Fall (since it now looks like I'll have to spend an extra term, partly because I spend so much time running around trying to get money).

So, New Brunswick Student Financial Assistance:  

FUCK YOU!

<sarcasm>But I'm not in the least bit bitter.</sarcasm>
