That is a lot of money, but I would expect that once you finish it would be worth the price.

Yeah. It's just coming up with the price. I'm looking into cheaper alternatives that will give me the earning potential to pursue nuclear medicine later.

Thanks for following through the whole Weekend of Panic.

"Initially, I looked into going to Britain as a student, but I really can't afford the tuition there. Between the rate of exchange and the non-resident rates, I'd be screwed."

You sound really tea party saying that. Come on. If you learn anything from American politics and economics, it's that infinite spending will NEVER bite you on the ass. You know, as long as you can dupe people into still giving you stuff when you ask :)

Why haven't you applied for Mensa yet? Let them hook you up.

Hook me up with what? I thought Mensa was mostly just being proud and hanging out with other people who are good at puzzles. I never really looked into it.

Oh, I figured they'd at least give funding for schooling or research or something. Never looked into it myself, either.
