Pointless ranting

I'm annoyed and I'm in the mood to rant: Matt just got back from Florida on Tuesday night. He turned in his student loan paperwork right before he left (at the last possible second) and while he was gone, found out that some information was missing. But he didn't do anything about it, figuring he could wait until he got back. But it turns out, his loan won't be processed in time for the payment deadline (he called the school - the deadline is firm), so now Larry has to pay the first installment ($1700). It's not that big a deal, Larry will get most of the money back, but I'm just steamed that Matt spent the summer with his grandma going to the movies and sitting by the pool like a 12 year old, instead of taking care of his future like an adult. I spent the summer before college in Army basic training (the hottest summer on record in Missouri!) Matt's just damn lucky that he can drop the ball like this and we're here to catch it - if he was still living with his mom, she sure wouldn't be taking care of this, and he would just have to face the consequences.

O.K. I feel a little better now.
