I'm a bloody alternate for the summer FLAS. [through UT] I know that Amy says she'll be able to create more, but I don't know the time line on that. If I don't get it through UT or IU, then I can't go. It is not financially feasible. If it were just me, I could take out the loans, but it isn't just my credit. My fingers are crossed...

This morning, our meeting was pretty much just to gauge where she is and jump in. I assigned her a couple of exercises from the text book to do, and I wrote a short little quiz for her to take ( Read more... )

Have I really neglected LJ for almost half a month?
Wow.
Last weekend, we ended up at Rooms To Go or Roomstore... one of those furniture places, with some friends who were looking and looking to take advantage of the no interest for four years. We ended up buying a dresser for me [yay! no more plastic drawers from college!] and couch. But we havent' ( Read more... )
