I officially love the U of U

Once I got in-state status, I found out that I am eligible for grants that I never knew existed. It is nice that I am getting rewarded monetarily for getting good grades (and being poor :P). I am overwhelmed by the amount scholarships and grants I have gotten this school year. I am so grateful because as hard as this semester has been, if I didn't have the funding, it would have been so much harder to stay in school for both of my degrees rather than just one of them. I am not joking at all with this either. If I didn't know that I had the money to go to school over the summer I can't say that I would. Summer semesters don't qualify me with grants so that semester is all out of pocket. Being an adult is harder than most people know until they get into the situations that they are in. Luckily, Endrit and I have learned to deal with school. I swear if we weren't getting older, we would stay in school forever, but alas, we have to grow up and have the next level of adult life with jobs and kids...but not just yet :)
