Dear Lucille,My heart is very heavy because we are really going through a repugnant ordeal with Shayne's college enrollment. Evidently the school was sold to new management and the system switched to a semester system, so this past year when she came back in late September and didn't re-enroll, she took classes, passed exams but got no credit for her coursework and was left with a bill of almost a thousand gulders for not turning in a student identification card. Then she went in February and got re-enrolled. But again, it was only for half a year. I was beaten to a pulp in September but when I began to get on my feet again in October, I tried to remind her to get re-enrolled, but it was already late October and apparently too late. Today, she informed me she got high grades on exams she took recently but according to the University, she is again not enrolled. It is difficult to see on the receipt they give, because it states re-enrolled from 2005-2006 but then in the dark strip at the bottom of the card, it states from Feb to Sept. Really hard to see. The other thing is that she needs to turn in her student card, because they charge 136 dollars a month for her to carry it. What a nightmare! And what is more, the university is all mixed up in its red tape. It never receives mail that we send. And we never receive mail that it is supposed to send us. We have received about 20 bills for 136 dollars. When I talked to the "call center" myself, I was told she old the money, because she was not enrolled. Now they tell Tom, tha tshe owes the money, even if she is enrolled. Also there are never any dates on the bills. I am so depressed over this. I think I will apply for a fellowship for Shayne in her field from the information you sent. That information was old, but at the website, they give current information about programs one can apply for. Unfortunately, though, I had a allergic reaction to the pamphlet you sent. I wonder if I should trust a program, whose literature makes me so unwell?
