On Money, and Grad Schools.

I got accepted to one of the world's finest institutions for the study of religion. I did not get a free ride to that school- I will have a lot of debt.

Okay, it's now possible for me to do what I want with my life, I just have to get it all together after all.

It is very nice to sit across a table from someone while you're doubting the possibility of your life's dream coming true, and having them say, "You're going to make it happen."

Also, I am already kind of beginning to appreciate the silly numbered grid that is the Chicago street map- I can already begin to see my way around the city, and I've not even been there yet.
