My payment for school was due on the 5th. There was no e-mail or anything else to tell me, "Hey, all payments are due 8/5. Please follow this link to make your payment". I don't check the website every single day. I checked it a little while ago for work purposes, but the reminder is in the corner, looking very inconspicuous. It's in bold lettering, and that's about it.
Anyway, I managed to salvage my nutrition class for Wednesdays. I paid it in full up front just now. What sucks is that I lost my spot in Advanced Baking, and that class is a pain in the butt to get into. It was already 50% full when I did the priority scheduling.
I'm definitely going to be busting my ass next semester. If it's only available on Fridays, I can double that with Cake Design and stay on campus for the whole day. It's gonna suck hard, but I can do it. And I WILL pay off part of it to hold my place.
