On the Road.

I didn't want to leave you hanging with that cliffhangar ending to the red tape story. The solution offered by Washburn basically involved me getting K-State's International Studies office to send Washburn's Admissions Office an official note saying that the semester I spent abroad was part of my time at K-State. I have very little faith that this feat can even be accomplished, after the real live human I talked to at K-State told me to send an email to the director of the office, and then casually mentioned that I might want to say "urgent" in the email because this would "probably be at the bottom of her stack of things to do right now." So that's good. Because I won't get my financial aid until Washburn gets this "note" from K-State. I've decided that I'll have to camp out at Washburn on Monday until they give in. I'll let you know how that works.

Today was my last day at work. Though I won't have a daily list of the names the kids came up with for me (yesterday's winner was "dirty ho"), I've learned so many things that will stay with me forever. It's been a good summer.
