OT: GREAT NEWS!!!!!

That is SO wonderful! I've heard there is money out there to pay for school. People just need to look for it and jump through the hoops. I'm so glad you found something for yourself.

That is great news Jean. What a relief for you. Enjoy your classes.

TaDA!!!! Yeah!!!!!!! Now you can have fun in school!

Yeah!!! I am so glad for you. With your talent I am glad that you will be able to afford to stick with the program till the end. It is amazing what is out there when you take the time to look. Congrats and don't forget to share some of your more recent stuff!

Hugs, M-C

Congratulations! I hope you do well in school. I just wish everyone who really wanted an education could afford it somehow. There are so many different programs out there to help people if they could only find them. Sandy

HI.

I am so happy for you. So what are you studing? I'm sure you've answered that before but I'm a relative newbee here.

Congrats,

Kate

I'm a photography student. I'm double majoring in portraiture and commercial photography. :D

Well two semesters ago I made deans list, last semester I missed it by .1 of a GPA (yeah, kicking myself!) but they don't consider my 3.6 honors... only 3.7 and higher.. so I'm still pleased... :D

I will! I'm going to scan some of my negatives in soon.. and this semester I'm doing alot of photoshop stuff... I'll post what i'm doing there too when I get a chance... they might pay for my stuff, but i wish they'd pay for more time! LOLOL (hey, its the government, they should be able to give me a 36 hour day!) LOL

Yeah! I just told hubby its like a giant burden has lifted. I've been worrying because this mac I have is dying.. I need a newer one.. now I can get one.. I need more equipment to be halfway competitive.. and I can now! I'm still stunned. LOLOL

Thanky! I'm having a blast so far! :D

If it hadn't been for a classmate going through BVR, I'd never known... since I'm not physically able to do what I did before as a living (drive truck) and I have a TON of documentation, and I'm physically able to do what I want to go to school for, I qualify. People don't realize driving truck requires unloading too and I just can't do that.. its one thing to move studio lights around, another to unload a truck.. LOL I have to interview a few active photographers (no problem there), and show need... (easy, they got a copy of my taxes)...

Oh that is wonderful Jean! And you deserve it! Congratulations and keeping my fingers crossed that the finance for the computer come through aswell! Just goes to show...can't loose anything by trying :))

Judy, SA

That's wonderful news Jean. I'm sure it is a releif for you. You deserve it. You're a hard worker.

Wow, that's great! I've checked out the prices for higher education these days, & for the books. Yikes! They sure don't make it easy to afford, do they? So, congrats! Work hard & enjoy yourself. Sounds like you're doing both already.

OOOIHHH I am so HAPPY and EXCITED for you too!! Also poor Martin!! As I am sure it is a BIG LOAD off his mind!!

YOU GO GIRL and A REALLY BIG HUG awaits when I can see ya again!!

nada for 05

OKC Dave

Well unfortunately I had to pick one of the most expensive fields to get into when it comes to expenses... my school is about 30k for two years not counting the supplies, necessary equipment and books... heck thats another 30k easily... and that was the part I was having a hard time with.. I owe 14k now, and will take out a few more loans even when they are paying so I can get a little ahead with equipment that I need but they won't cover. As a photographer, most places expect you to come fully geared, and thats not cheap... I got a good start though!!! :D

Awwww... thanky! {{{{HUGAROO FOR DAVEYPOO}}}}

And when AM I going to see ya??? huh? Huh? hrm??????

LOLOLOL

Cool. No wonder your photographs are so beautiful on your equally beautiful l/os.
