eta: in truth, I need to get my life together. Ah well.
As with so many things, there is no "get my life together." There's just doing a whole bunch of individual things. Do one maybe.
Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

sarameg, it's a little misleading, because those estimates are on the high end for living costs. Tution for an in-state resident is $7434, and out-of-state is $17,820. See the numbers here.

Just checked out the University of Alaska Fairbanks (where I went). They break it down rather much, but the average appears to be a little under $10K for Alaska residents and a little over $17K for non-residents.* Go Nanooks! It may be freezing cold, but at least it's cheap.
* Including room and board but not including "health insurance, books, supplies, transportation, parking, miscellaneous expenses or special costs associated with international or exchange students." I thought they usually included books and supplies in these estimates. Hmm.

There's the rub.
Good god. I think all told, my school is $10-15K more than when I was there. I still can't believe the rental rates for the student apartments. 4 people/apt at almost $800 each. For a 4 bedroom + 1 bath, kitchen, lr. In a market where you could get a studio for $400. A racket. And it was a pain to get permission to be off campus. (There was a req to live on-campus the first couple of years, with very few exceptions, unless you were an adult student or had a kid or something like that.)

What Jesse said, sara. I know nothing of this "get my life together" I know of doing things though. You might wanna make a list and send it to me. We can "work on it together". I might even stop pinching your cheeks.

I am reminded of the fact that my 12 months of library school tuition (out of state) cost me more than the total of 3 years of law school tuition (in state).

Actually, I need to do that to deal with the enormous piles of crap on my desk. I will NEVER "clean my desk." But maybe I'll deal with the stuff to be filed, or the stuff to shred, or the stuff that just needs a home....

I'll let you know when I stop flailing. It's embarassing and pointless to ask others to deal with it, and the only reason it is coming out now is a) I'm having a bad day and b) annual review time, which brings out all the demons.
