Financial aid bullshit

Okay, I have been waiting for my financial aid letter to come in.  It has been like weeks since I filled out the forms and everything.  I swear I had to fill out close to a hundred forms.  Okay maybe that is an exageration....more like 98.  This wasn't all at once either.  They kept sending me form after form after form.  I had to keep filling out the same damn forms too.  Why exactly do you need a repeat of the same form?  Did you lose one of the fifty that I filled out?  So, after all that bullshit I get a letter today (a week after the deadline to sign up for classes to by the way) stating that I didn't get the financial aid because of some sort of bullshit like I had some kind of defaulted loan.  What?  I paid off my last student loan I had, like, six years or so ago.  Okay, I didn't exactly pay it on time, but  damnit  I did pay it.  What kind of bullshit is this?  How the hell am I suppose to further my education if I can't afford to go to fucking school with out some sort of government help?  They all want us to better ourselves and get out in the community and become productive citizens in society.  Yet when a single mother can't get the goddamn support that she needs because of one small missed payment they are going to say "No you can't go to school and better yourself".  Do they expect me to not get a job and just sit on my ass at home all day on welfare.  Fuck that bullshit!
