Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why the hell is it wearing a dress?

Of course, it won't actually mean more money for me, I think, since it'll just replace my loans for the semester, but still! Woohoo!

Emily, that's $5,000 less you'll have to repay, so definitely Woohoo!!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

With the frelling interest over a decade its like $6000 you won't have to pay!

What is even happening?

It just won't mean more money for you now. It will mean more money for you, when the loans come due.

So I'm supposed to ("It is also appropriate for you to") write letters of acknowledgment. What do I say? "Hey, thanks for the cash! I guess you like my sense of humor. Math and I are so happy that you have such faith in our relationship! I know Computer Science and I didn't work out, but I've learned from that experience and Math and I are really committed to each other."

I think you'd qualify for a Buffista scholarship, if you sent any of these, however, the Buffista scholarship will get you a free account at buffistas.org, so...well...yeah.

Congrats on your scholarships, Emily!

Yeah, although in the scheme of things, I'll owe money until I die anyway, so it's an almost insignificant amount of my debt, and I'd sort of prefer extra money to live on. But it's still a total woohoo.

congrats Emily! Avoiding debt is always good, and acknowledgement of your general awesomeness is also very very good.

Why the hell is it wearing a dress?

I thought it was wearing overalls. Not that that's any less creepy. But you know. Maybe it had been working hard in the garden and it was tired. Thus the need to catch a nap with the cat on the couch.
