CestLaVie, when you call the university i would say something along the lines, "i understand that a mistake was made by you all, not me. I had student loans to cover all this and if you had not made the mistake or caught it sooner, we wouldn't even be in this position right now. With that being said, no i will not pay the full amount as that is not feasible to my monthly income. I will pay $xx a month for x months. If this solution does not work for you, I am sorry, as once again, this is your mistake, not mine, and I am doing everything i can to work with you to correct it." Because, guarantee the person trying to collect on it is just "trying to collect on it". Push back at them. They can't take what you don't' have. AND IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT THEY SCREWED UP.

Tim Horton's is our major national coffee chain (although I think it was actually bought out by an American company a couple years ago). But Canadians LOVE their Tims. And once a year they have "Roll up the Rim", where you roll up the rim of your cup and there's like a 1 in 6 chance of winning a prize, mostly donuts and coffee - but there's are cars, trips, cash, bbqs, tvs, etc. But it's like a huge cultural thing here. And they used to have so many commercials for roll up with people trying to roll their tongue and make the "rrrrrr" sound. Rrrrrroll up the rim to win. Lol, don't judge us. haha! I knew it was a big deal when 45th and tuscanlatte commented

The Tim Horton's we have here sucks. But I get an employee discount with them, so I get it sometimes.

CestLaVie, sorry about the anxiety... I hate that I 100% understand. $ is always a trigger of mine (especially since we want to buy a house soon). I can't even call to order takeout! That being said, I'm glad you made a plan of attack and hope that helps you sleep. Also, is there anyone else at your uni you could talk to about the royal screw up? Hate you're having to deal with this.

CestLaVie I'm sorry you're having such anxiety. Losing sleep and then being tired, damn a vicious cycle hey? I get it around using making phone calls too. If I need to make a call I'll sometimes write down my main points to cover and tick things off my list as I go to help. Some calls I write out a script of sorts. It's so funny you say this! I emailed the registrar my complaint this morning. I know he won't email back but now I have something cohesive to say when I call! Because otherwise I just let them steamroll me. It is a viscious cycle. I just have to keep telling myself, I will get through this and I am just glad both DH and I are employed and we have a way to come back from it.

This is almost exactly what I said in the email. Personally I don't think that I should have to pay it at all. And if I do, I should damn sure be able to make a payment plan. Lol your words are better I'll add it to my script haha

At the zoo with the girls. Its extremely quiet here and the girls already wanted their snack so we are sitting by the sea lions. The sound of the water hitting up against the rocks is so darn peaceful. If I close my eyes, I swear I'm on a beach!

Hate you're having to deal with this. I tried to contact the student union and no one will get back to me. I am going to try them today again. They also sent the graduate student exit survey today and I outlined very specifically why I will not be returning for my PhD to their university and why I will actively try to dissuade anyone else from choosing that graduate program. Maybe someone from the survey will get back to me. I stated tat I have actively been trying to be understanding and work this out but I have lost that understanding now.

Ooh also, I know someone who won a bike. It was the most hilarious thing because they are custom painted. So it's a beautiful bike that is worth a lot of money....but its brown and looks like a coffee cup hahaha. I laugh every time I see it.

Bad Moms opinion: Saw it, didn't LOVE it. Definitely laughed a bit but I was still 💁 at the end. I'll see the Christmas one though because the love I have for Kristen and Mila has no end

Thoughts from the brilliant minds of A15...
So my Best Friend is getting married in 1 week!!! She does not have a videographer and seemed a little Meh on the idea of needing or having one. If I know my BF the way I think I do, I think her concern is more about paying for one. Soooo if it were possible for me to find and book a videographer for her on such short notice, do think that would maybe be overstepping my boundary a little bit? Or a nice idea? It would be my gift to her.
I just know how important a video is. One of my groomsmen died 5 months after our wedding and it is so special to me to have his laugh and smile on my video forever. I realize it is completely selfish of me, and my own agenda if I do get the videographer, but I don't think my friend will be upset.
Thoughts? I'm at the zoo now and will be back on in a few hours

taketheshot if you're sure she'd want one I think it would be a great gift. Does she have a photographer? Could they recommend someone for video?

taketheshot, honestly I think that is an amazing gift. I said I didn't need video too and really, I just couldn't afford it. I say go for it! And you are the sweetest.

taketheshot, in this case, you know your friend best and how she would react (good or bad) towards a gesture like that. I personally did not want to pay a videographer for our wedding, and didn't. We lucked out having h's cousin there. He videoed the before photos and the ceremony for us. For our 1yr anniversary I worked with him and surprised H with an edited wedding video. Will there be any family/friends there that would want to/wouldn't mind videoing at least those important parts? I personally didn't need or want to see video of my reception and of people dancing. Who cares about that (IMO)
