A New Bank for a New Outlook!?

I set myself up with a new Bank of America checking account complete with my photo on the debit card to prevent further fraudulent purchases by thieves who like to snatch wallets out of purses. We shall see if the photo on my debit card actually prevents fraud or is just a clever marketing tool...

On a lighter note, all the money that was withdrawn from my account from my denied claim has now been replaced. Five phone calls later. Two bank managers. Two supervisors. A few tears. And finally, SUCCESS!

Who knew you had to have a  few years of law school under your belt before the world would take you seriously. I have to admit, the two years of law school I have completed did help me sound more articulate as I was sobbing into the phone like a baby begging for Chase Bank's Claims Department to believe me when I stated over and over again, "I swear, I ate at Epic Burger and THEN my wallet was stolen! Look at the pending transactions from 7/28/10!"

Yeah, in fact, that was my all time low. Kicked when I was already down by the one entity I am suppose to trust my entire life savings to? My loans to? My HOME mortgage to? I don't think so. Trust is a mutual thing in my book.

Oh, well. I am putting all that drama behind me and focusing on what matters: the fall semester of law school starting in t-minus 5 days!

I already have three of my books, all of which won't help me because my reading assignments (of course) are over the material I have yet to receive in the mail. Patience truly is a virtue.

However, I finally was able to get issued a new law student ID - complete with my new class title: LLM Student in Information Technology! Wooo! I'm official!

It's kind of sad, I don't even know what LLM stands for...I'm sure it's Latin or something. I know, I sound pretty dang smart right now. This is what happens when I have been through the emotional washing machine and I'm trying to find the silver lining. I apologize ahead of time for my rambling. Goodnight.
