Today has been a stressful day, to say the least. It was all going smoothly until, when we were to collect our text books, the lady tells me they're still awaiting payment. Apparently, the money horder i so obviously handed in to Mr. Colak (who passed it on to Campion) never actually got to Campion - so it got lost on the way, who knows how. They tell me that if i kept the tear-off receipt from the money order, and provided them with the number on that, they would've immediately been able to cancel it and i would've been able to get a new one from the Post Office; the predicament is - i threw that receipt out. What's even worse is the fact that the lady at the Post Office didn't actually write 'Campion' on the money order, i wrote it on myself, as my Grandma [at the time], did not know the name of the company. My Grandma got in touch with the post office, and they said that if i go in and fill in a 'retrieval' form, they should be able to trace the money order and give me the number of it, so i can pass that on to Mr. Colak. Amazing that they assure my Grandma that she won't have to pay again, and they will definetely be able to trace the money order, even with the smallest piece of information (how much it was made out for). So i'm going to the Post Office tomorrow to fill out one of these forms, hopefully they get back to me by at least Monday. Now that i come to think of it, if the money order was made out to Campion, and they claim they have not cashed it, then it only seems sensible that the Post Office would supply a new one, but we'll just have to wait and see. I can honestly only see myself lasting a week without any text books and English texts, if it got to that point, i would just ask my Grandma to pay again, which seems an impossible task, as she just bought a ticket to New Zealand today, and hasn't got that much money left. I don't see why i should have to pay again anyway, i did what i was supposed to and handed the money order in to Mr. Colak, what else am i expected to do (say keep the receipt and i'll slap you). I'm hoping it gets sorted out soon, the thought of my Grandma wasting another $400 daunts me. And as much as anybody wants to help, i can't see myself accepting any money from anybody (except the school of course *hint*).


And now on a lighter note. I seem to be going alright in my yearly exams, considering i didn't do that much study. I think i'm averaging around 75%, or something like that. What's even more surprising is that i'm close to Tommy in nearly every exam, if that isn't a feat, what is?


My Grandma brought The Notebook home from St. Vincent de Paul yesterday, i can't wait to watch it again, i bet i cry again, it's just that kind of movie. But then again, everything makes me cry.
