Well at least you'll have the newest model? I'm sure scholarships will pay for a lot of it. I just heard something on the radio about a guy who attended Harvard and got $90,000 a year from scholarships.

Oh and btw, do you have your saint-saens original copy? Could I borrow it for Solo and Ensemble?

And tell David, that he is not japanese and needs to have his hair either shaved off or dyed back black, cuz it made me cringe on Monday when I say his hair.

Haha, nice nice. I'll be sure to let him know.

And yes, I do have the Saint-Saens. Love it. I'll bring it on Monday. Remind me again sometime.

Me and Saint-Saens parted ways on a not good note.
That is all.

Hahaha welcome to the world of college :) Hope all is well and we need to talk soon!

P.S. DAVID DYED HIS HAIR?!?!??!?!

you are way too talented to not go to college. you can have my expected family contribution, even tho it's probably less than sergio's.....

allielittlelegs February 3 2006, 17:27:54 UTC

what's your expected family contribution?
worse than mine?
because if it's not, you can feel good about that.

nessime February 3 2006, 18:16:30 UTC

No, it's about 56% of what you have to pay, but I still have my brother to think about.

Although it does make me feel a bit "better."

Yeah, college tuition sucks.

Remind me, Julia: 1. is the value of a holistic college experience not unquantifiably valuable? 2. you want to be a doctor? 3. you're determined, competitive, and kind? (rhetorical question; answer is YES!) 4. doctors of this sort can play around in a sizable market, and then make quite a bit of money?
So, it seems like a lot becuase we're just not used to thinking in terms of that much money. In the course of your career, it's not that much.
(Though, brush your teeth well now, becuase you prob. won't be able to buy toothpaste in college.)
Also, don't rule out the less expensive schools. Universities may be like nylons; it's too early to tell. :-)

*jaw drops* Oh. my. God. Sarah. is. on. livejournal.

Hahaha, child, you are either 1) really bored or 2) I have no idea... :-)

p.s. all the reasons you used above apply to yourself as well, although you can substitute doctor with lawyer or environmental economist or whatever you end up doing.
