Ok, new game plan. . .

So. . . .. after much deliberation. . . . . . ::drumroll::. . . . . next year I'm going to fau and either living at home (worst case scenario) or rooming with Kalyn (if she's not married by then), and lyssa and allison, and I know other people that need someone to room with. . . . . . why would I come back home you ask? Good question. Here's a great answer:

I'm graduating in 2007. So I only have a year and 1/2 left of school, and when i go to fau I'll only have a year left. Then I can go on to grad school. And since I'll have to take out loans anyway, why not go to a school I really want to go to. So. . .TADA!!! The University of Greenwich. Yes, Greenwich as in England. . . you're a smart little bugger, aren't you?

As an international student, it only costs 8,000 pounds to get your masters (in one year, which is what their program is designed to do). And if you can pay for it all up front, then it costs 7,600 pounds (5% off). . . so let's convert that currency!

£8,000=$13,864.82 $1=£0.577

£7,600=$13,171.58

In other words, I need to start saving up money big time so the loan won't have to be so big. And that's only for tuition.

Since right now I'm basically going to school for free (other than the apt) if i can live at home for free, or rent an apt for cheaper than what I'm paying now, the extra money goes into my bank account. Plus, next year I can get that job coaching the soccer team, and have another job.

I need to start brushing up on my British slang.
