woo hoo! FAU just gave me another $6000 to go to school (in addition to $2000 when I filled out FASFA)!!!! I'll still have to take out loans of course, but this will make full time school liveable. I just have to work in child welfare for year in FL after graduation. Yeah, I was probably going to do that anyhow. Although today at work was ( Read more... )

He's purring on my desk right now. The vet ( Read more... )
