Dear Lucille,I called the university this morning and asked if they had late enrollment procedure, so that Shayne might retain the scores on the tests she recently passed and something odd happened. There is such a thing as late enrollment but Shayne apparently was not enrolled. The same thing was told to Thomas, when he talked to personnel yesterday at another office. I had to call back to give the lady Shayne's student number, etc., in order to get a declartion of late enrollment. But when I called back, the next person I got on phone said Shayne was indeed enrolled. I, therefore, requested some evidence of that fact but was told they would only send it, if Shayne did not have a current receipt. But you know, this confusion is mind-boggling and it strikes me that something else may actually be going on. So now I am concerned about Shayne's welfare. She was recently offered a house, which she was going to accept yesterday. But it is suspicious that records have already started going off, if you know what I mean. This led me to invite her for the umpteenth time to live in the extra room here, whenever she wants, because it is a dog's world. I have also been looking at the descriptions of online universities, where you can study at your computer. It is sounding more attractive to me. I hope things will work out o.k. Up to now, though, she hasn't been able to live in peace without the shadow of my experience here (outrageous) overshadowing her own existence. That's why I know that her situation is not her fault. But she was so young, I could never explain it to her. Prejudice and deception and outright cruelty and murder is hard to explain to a young person.
