Student finance is THE worst! The entire process is make really difficult by how vague they are with the information you need to put in and what the criteria are for grants. I ended up not applying for any DSA because I wasn't sure what they'd need as evidence or how difficult it would be to get, as well as being sort of embarrassed about it. Now they want evidence I don't have. They want a birth certificate countersigned by a respectable person I've known for two years. As someone suffering from AS and anxiety with next to no friends I don't really know anybody who fits the bill and besides, I can't find the birth certificate. There's other documentation I need to get and I don't know how or if I can. Now I'm super upset and worried about this stupid thing. They probably won't be able to pay in my grant/loans in time because I'll be late with getting this evidence. They didn't really make it clear in any of the emails stating the deadline what the application process entailed or that I'd need to send off evidence, just that you can apply online, which is fairly disingenuous if you can't apply entirely online.
I'm ill too, with a likely water infection, so I don't feel great at the moment anyway. |

Hope it works out ok Almajo88 and hang in there and it will be worth the extra effort to receive the $$. Bureaucracy and red tape are never fun, that is for sure.

Why is hindsight 20/20? I know people learn from their mistakes and grow, but I really wish I could go back and do things differently sometimes. Hmm...Nothing will ever be perfect that is for sure.

Thanks for the encouragement 
I just spent half the night in hospital and found out I have a blood clot so I'm a little bit annoyed! I'm just not sure how to express my annoyance towards a blood clot though and it doesn't respond to the verbal abuse I've been giving it. |

grrr. stupid people, with their stupid fancy social skills and their stupidly stupid way of communicating things ambiguously and not saying things in a clear way and making their intentions clear and the response they want from me obvious and the extent to which they care about stuff clear as is helpful and conducive to interaction and to me not feeling stupid. what do you want from me people!? whaaat?! people. frustrate. me.  |

Surprisingly, that actually feels quite a bit better. Take that, wall! I'll teach you for not keeping sound out and giving me a headache.... AGAIN!
I wouldn't be so mad at a wall if it wasn't suppost to be a good noise cancelling material in this room.

I'm so f***ing mad at myself! I'm the most annoying ridiculous person I know! The second something is going wrong with a job/school program or anything in my life I just quit....I just give up right away.....and I've known for years that I always do this because of stress and should learn to manage my stress and stop impulsively dropping courses at school etc. and yet I must not really care enough because I keep repeating this pattern over and over again in spite of my knowledge of it. In short...I'm just a loser who takes the easy way out.....  |

Ugrhhh why do college computers have to be so slow?! It's not like there was heavy computer use, maybe five people in the whole library. I pretty much gave up on getting any work done after it took half an hour to look through a few web pages. But I don't feel secure working at home so I have no choice.
Also people take a long time to reply to my messages sometimes! I mean really... I understand being busy but who in the world takes over a week to reply to something? I feel guilty if I take more than a couple of days to reply to a message. Makes me suspect that people just don't care.
I guess I have a lot of minor gripes at the moment. |

I am annoyed when people say stuff like "if you can do x some of the time, why don't you just keep doing it?".
Hey, if you can stay awake for some of the time, why don't you just stay awake all of the time? If you can hold your breathe some of the time, why not do it all of the time? If you can juggle some of the time, why not do it all of the time? You see where I'm coming from?
The other day, my mother was all like "You should have spent the last year dealing with your perfectionism". First off, I've made tremendous leaps and bounds and she's acknowledged this. Second, it's not easy to change how you view yourself when that's how you've felt your entire life. Not to mention that my neurotype means that I'm more prone to obsessing over details. I know she means no harm - I know she just doesn't know what to make of my 'issues' at times, but it's really annoying. If I have to just get over my perfectionism, then she should just get over her stoicism. |

Repeatedly get trapped in the same old spider web of words.
I need armor-plating and happiness inducing 'something' maybe a long run with my music. |
