Yeah, I'm planning to go talk to the financial aid people tomorrow. My teaching assistantship runs out after this semester, and my parents said they could help me some, but it's not going to be enough for all my expenses and stuff. What I really need to talk to the financial aid people about is whether I qualify as a "full- or part-time student," since the university just has us register for a one-credit class while we're doing dissertation research.
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

OMG, I just got cookie on my monitor from Obama saying
This notion that I came in here ginned up to spend $800 billion...I have to say, having a President laying it down, and pointing out the truth is awesome. Go get 'em Mr. President!!!!

Hil, you should be considered a FT student if you are working on your dissertation, or at least that's how it worked lo these many years ago when I was ABD.

I checked the website. Buried way in the back of a form, it said that if I'm working on my dissertation and taking fewer than five credits, there's yet another form to fill out and have my adviser and dean sign to certify that the amount of work I'm doing is equivalent to at least part time. So that works out to something like six separate forms I need to fill out so far.

But there has to be a formula somewhere that says, the more forms you fill out, the more likely you are to get some dough.

That would be nice.
Argh. I hate filling out forms. Forms are confusing and ask weird questions that I don't understand.
I think I'll call my sister tomorrow. She's a tax lawyer/accountant, and got student loans for law school just a few years ago. She can probably explain this stuff to me.

Our wings are not tired
I *love* the Civic (better visibility than the Accord, wonderful to drive, and the new Leather Seat model offers the one thing I wish ours had--seat warmers). I was going to get a Fit (zippy! fun! cute!) until we drove the Civic.
I've been hit or miss with Hondas. Some of them I like and some just don't work at all for me. Having now had the one Mercedes I think I've ruined myself for a lot of cars. I can understand why the C class is known as the gateway Mercedes. They really do use it to lure you in.

maybe we should form an intervention for ND before it gets too late. Gateway and all. Was the first one free? That's how they usually lure you in.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Does preventative have an extra syllable?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I believe it only has as many syllables as it has.
