Pipe dreams.. seems to be a running joke

My grandmother sent us a check so that we could cover a debt with one of the universities [online] a couple of years ago.  After Monday, that will be all taken care of and I won't have to worry about it again.  If I'd managed to slowly pay off what I owed them near the end of 2008, I wouldn't have been contacted by their collector in the first place.  Once that's done, I can request a copy of my transcript from them and pay an additional $10 to get an official copy sent to the college I'm trying to attend.

I also started school again this week.  I'm going for Criminal Justice and I hope to find a decent job with the d...
