Here I am reporting to you live. “From where,” you may be asking yourself. Well, from my office. Yes indeed. I moved in all of my art and office supplies today, and although I’ve been doing work throughout last week it was kind of all over the place and now I am officially moved in. Woot. Okay so loads of things have happened since I last updated, ( Read more... )

So on Tuesday I realized that even with my tuition, fees, parking, and health insurance, I only had to pay roughly $150 to UNCG, and no, I have no loans. Not that I wasn't excited, but it somehow didn't figure. Well it turns out that besides getting a tuition waiver and two additional grants, my department has paid for my health insurance.

As for today, a shower and Indian food are a must.
