Today I got an email saying that my application file to UW-Platteville is complete, so they should be doing my transfer credit evaluation soon and then I can enroll for classes. There is a problem though. I can't get the benefits until I enroll full time and have them send a letter to me. but I need to money to enroll. I think we have all come to the conclusion that I have to get a loan to either pay for the first payment or for the entire first semester. Hopefully it's only the first payment if they have a payment plan. It all depends on when they stop billing us and wait for the benefits to kick in. This is really the only problem now. I also have to buy books and a lot of the time they can cost more than the classes.

Oh on the job front: I called the lady at the employment office back and told her I had to be somewhere on the 27th (the job starts on Nov. 25th). She put me on hold for a minute and then said she talked to her supervisor and that it would count against me as a absence and that they had a attendance policy and to try to not miss anymore. I assured her it was only that day and that I wouldn't miss anymore, because I honestly am not going to miss anymore. She said to tell my supervisor on the first day and that it would help.

That's all for now. I think I am going to try to email someone in the financial department of the university. I emailed the lady I was speaking to who handles all the stuff about veterans benefits, but she didn't really answer my questions. I'll keep yall updated.
