Good News!

I found out today that I got a Pell Grant from the government to help pay for college. I also received a Carr Scholarship -- a local scholarship given at the college that is based on grades. My scholarship award was $3,500 and my Pell Grant was $1,960. I am taking 18 credit hours in the fall and 19 in the spring. The tuition for the two semesters adds up to $5,473.80. So Brian and I only have to pay $13.80 out-of-pocket towards my tuition. Yes, thirteen dollars and eighty cents! I will still need to pay certain fees and buy my books, but I am very excited and grateful to be getting $5,46o in free college money :)
Of course if I was sane (Cherie, should that say 'if I were sane'?) I would only be taking 12 C.H. each semester and I could actually make some money on this deal. But you all know my husband. And you know he likes to move way too often! So I am cramming in as much as I can in as little time as possible.
Speaking of which, my two online summer classes started on Monday so I should probably be working on them and not playing with my blog. Ta-ta for now.
