Good news on a Monday. Go figure!

Today, Brittanie went to ROTC class and was handed back the paper they had to write on the branch of the Army they were most interested in. Brittanie did hers on Military Intelligence. At the top of her paper, Jameson (her instructor) had written "Excellent! See me after class." She thought "Here we go again. Time for another butt chewing." She was totally wrong. Evidently he has finally realized the effort she has put in because he apologized to her for being rude to her in the past and told her that he can tell she has dropped alot of weight and her PT has definitely shown improvement so he can see that she is truly working hard. He told her she is very intelligent and thinks that she will be a fine officer and an asset to the Army. He worries about her being opinionated but told her he doesn't want her to quit thinking, just learn to say things differently than the way she does. (She is blunt like Tom and I.) She really needed this because she was seriously considering finishing this year and dropping ROTC because they don't respect her at all. When she finished telling me what he told her, she said "Now that I'm not fat anymore, I get respect." I told her welcome to the real world. This is not just the Army. This is the world. You can't make fun of other races or handicapped people, but it is still acceptable to make fun of fat people. She thinks that stinks, as do I, but it is a fact of life.

After talking to Jameson, she went to the College of Arts and Sciences to find out in person if her campus transfer has been approved or not. What she found out was that Sumter never sent her request. So they had her fill out a form right there in front of them and they put it in the box of the advisor that works on transfers from Sumter and hopefully we will know something soon. It is so frustrating when people don't do their job! grrr

On the apartment front, I called once again this morning to the apartment complex and told them that the cats are STILL there and I want something done about Courtney...I want her GONE! She is a pig to live with. Well a man and a woman went there this morning while Brittanie was there and the woman literally gagged when she walked in because the smell was so strong. Then she gagged again when she saw the litter box. Courtney walked in, saw them in the apartment, grabbed the cats, and walked back out before they saw her. After they left, she came back in with the cats. They left a fine on her door again. She has to pay $200 this time, in addition to the $100 from before, and pay to have the carpet cleaned to their satisfaction. If it isn't done to their satisfaction, they will hire someone to clean it and bill her for it. Oh and the two pumpkins she was carving and let mold in the kitchen, she didn't dispose of them. She put them out on the porch. So they fined her $25 per pumpkin. She has to pay all of those fines, get rid of the cat, and clean the carpet immediately. Even if they don't charge her per cat, the minimum would be $350 plus carpet cleaning the rent is due Saturday. The notice they gave her today said that she has to pay all of these fines and clean the carpet or they will start the eviction process. I hope that is what they do. I'm so sick of Courtney's immaturity and irresponsibility. I don't know how she can live in that place but she has the apartment all to herself because Brittanie and Reisha can't stand the smell. But hopefully we are seeing the beginning of the end of Courtney's reign of terror on that apartment.
