<p>icedragon, I hear you. For one thing, if D’s university would just stop sending her e-mails with action items to be handled, then maybe she could finally get a start on her packing. They seem to make everything complicated. For example, she has to send the National Merit people a form to fill out, certifying her scholarship was unrelated to athletics. Come on, that organization has been giving out money for years based on PSAT scores and a general application. Surely everyone knows this isn’t some secret booster club? And the poor kid can’t simply sign up for the freshmen welcome dinner and send a check. No, she has to fill out the accompanying 20 question survey asking her about her favorite M&M’s and biggest fear in life.</p>
