Woo Hoo
Groovy.
KInd of makes a nice contrast to how I was feeling yesterday. It's still there, in the background, but I feel a lot more like I can actually prove myself again. I suppose that's it really. I just need to keep proving myself and doing cool things or else I start to feel stagnant and I start to feel like the stuff I've done before was just a fluke.
Hmmm...
Now to figure out the $$$ situation. That should be fun.
Being a spiffy home owner, can you refinance and/or get a home equity loan to pay for the masters?
I'd actually rather take out student loans to cover my expenses. An equity loan would put my house on the line and would have to be paid back no matter what, student loans are solely on me and if something should happen to me (e.g. death) they're forgiven. Also, so long as I'm taking at least 2 classes they can be deferred, and I'd be able to re-consolidate my older student loans and probably get a lower interest rate on the old loans I had from my undergrad days.
Plus right now the interest rate on those is lower than what I'd probably get on an equity loan on my house.
Student loans may not be for everyone, but they can be a nice deal if you need to $$. They're giving you money to work with at ridiculously low interest rates.
Anyway, aren't student loan payments kinda like electric bills? They're just always there? haha! Congrats on being accepted!
Ah, the joys of figuring out how to finance school.
but I'm hoping I can stick it out through a PHD so then I get to be Dr. :)
future grad student??
