Directionlessness - is it a problem?

Yerrrrrrssssssssssss?


(Quizzical eyebrow arched....)

Nice letter, littlek!

Umm...just one teency weency little thing I noticed.....



I would change this sentence to read as follows:

Learning in an interactive format will allow me to learn, not only by doing, which is how I prefer to learn, but also by observing how my classmates learn and teach.

That way, the tenses of your verbs, "doing" and "observing" are consistent. (I changed "see" to "observe." Sounds more teacher-like, no?)

(I used to work as a proof-reader in an ad agency! Can you tell? Ha!)

Anyway, best wishes with your letter!

So is this letter in the post yet, k?
Good luck!
And keep us all posted.

Now the waiting will be filled with tension and "What ifs."

The letter is great and Stray Cat's suggestions were fine.

This is going to happen!

Just when I thought we'd figured out the financial aid issues, another one came up......

Oh no!
Not a huge one I hope, k?

Out with it woman, what's the deal?

As most of you know I've been caring for mys sis' kids for 6 years. We have not been paying taxes, but have been exchanging money with the idea that it would be a family gift were the IRS to ask ($10K can be passed from one family member to another without paying taxes). Seems that our arrangment was dubious at best. We would have to pay some amount of back taxes for the last 6 years if we were caught. Not a lot of money, but significant. The amount of the back pay would depend on how good out tax attorney was. Anyway. I found out that, as a masters student, I would only be elligible for loans, not grants. So, my mother offered me a low-interest, defered payment loan from money she received as an inheritance.

I thought about it for a day and can see little reason to put me and my sis' family at risk if I can do this with my mother. So. The application is signed, sealed, stamped - just needs to be dropped in a mail box (or hand delivered).

Good goin', eh. I see the mommamatrix in a whole new light.

see.

Oh!!! Crossed everything!!!!!

What?

Crossing everything is a mega version of crossing fingers which is supposed to bring you luck and such!

Is this literal week on A2k or summat?

what do you mean by literal week?

What did you mean by.... oh forget it.

Sorry, dlowan, I really didn't get it! Thanks for the crossed bits.

I understood perfectly what Deb was saying!

I too, am crossing everything (fingers, toes, etc) for you, k! Good luck!

YOU are just trouble, aren't you?

The good news is that it is almost over
