I'm in Chicago. I've just recently finished the second day of orientation week. Yesterday was a mostly godawful boring orientation. Today was a more fun class on fundamentals of the legal system. There was also a brief lecture on International Law that I only caught the end of (it was optional) and one on Advocacy (which I attended and it was ( Read more... )

I'm almost entirely packed up now. Just a couple of more things to load and we're done and on the road.

wiliqueen, I don't know if you're coming, but I'll e-mail my cell phone number and shiny new address just in case. No obligation, and I'm sure I'll be out for a visit this weekend, but more hands will make lighter work, and I've got no shortage of ( Read more... )

They assured me that everything was on track, that they knew no one's financial aid would be there by the deadline, and that it was all good for them ( Read more... )

It's a large amount. More than I keep laying around. It's due August 5th.

I check the status of my loans. They still haven't been approved because the school hasn't gotten around to approving them. That is the only hold-up at this point. I call the lenders to make absolutely certain. Yep, just waiting on the school ( Read more... )
