a gratefully frustrated FAFSA rant.

On one hand, I am eternally grateful to it.  It provides me with a means to go to college and pursue my dreams.  It's like a free ticket to freedom--freedom to pursue my dreams as I wish. 

And yet one must go through hell just to fill the thing out online.  Every year I end up typing and retyping the same things I just finished typing, over and over again, just in an attempt to log in.  Then, as I try to navigate backwards for whatever reason (forgot something, re-checking my submission, step away from computer for too long, etc), it screws the whole thing up and I lose what I had.  Now I have to do the whole thing over again!  The whole thing!

I'm not really all that much of a hothead, though.  I give people the benefit of the doubt.  Probably too much, sometimes.  I know the site has to be that way to protect my information.  I imagine it deletes the data after a page is left, and that's why you have to type some things in again.  It just gets really really old when something that should, in theory, take about an hour, takes about three hours instead.  I think I just wanting something to gripe about.  The real frustration is that I need to take a roll of film outside and develop it by tonight for photography class, but it's really cloudy outside and I don't know if I'll be able to make it.  And all the other kids will have photos to print tomorrow, and I won't.  *sniff*

I took my other frustrations out on you, FAFSA.  I sorry.  I'ma go eat me a sammich now.
