I&#8217;ve been approved for just under two grand per quarter, for a total of close to six grand for fall, winter, and spring quarters. Even better, it&#8217;s primarily grant money, with the balance being work-study &#8212; none of it is in loans! It&#8217;ll mean putting in some hours at another part-time job to make up the work-study requirements, but that&#8217;s a small price to pay for getting through this year of school loan-free.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>As I&#8217;ve got the next two and a half days off (it would have been three, but there&#8217;s a training session with the local Nikon representative on Thursday afternoon), Prairie and I have decided to run away to go camping at Mt. Ranier. We&#8217;ve got a small mountain of camping equipment in the living room ready to load into the car, and will be heading out tomorrow morning, to return Thursday midday sometime so I can go to the training session.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941.10000170&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0\" title=\"Get iTunes\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"iTunes\" border=\"0\" width=\"61\" height=\"15\" src=\"http:\/\/images.apple.com\/itunesaffiliates\/logos\/iTunes_sm_bdg61x15.png\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/ad.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/show?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;bids=78941.10000170&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0\" alt=\"\" \/> &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms %253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DEnglish, Liz\/Harris, Phil\/Ravenscroft, Thurl\/Scatman Crothers%2526songTerm=Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat (The Aristocrats, 1970)%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"Search for 'Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat (The Aristocrats, 1970)' on the iTMS\">Ev&#8217;rybody Wants To Be A Cat (The Aristocrats, 1970)<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DEnglish, Liz\/Harris, Phil\/Ravenscroft, Thurl\/Scatman Crothers%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"Search for 'English, Liz\/Harris, Phil\/Ravenscroft, Thurl\/Scatman Crothers' on the iTMS\">English, Liz\/Harris, Phil\/Ravenscroft, Thurl\/Scatman Crothers<\/a> from the album <em><a href=\"http:\/\/click. linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DEnglish, Liz\/Harris, Phil\/Ravenscroft, Thurl\/Scatman Crothers%2526albumTerm=Classic Disney Vol. 5%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"Search for 'Classic Disney Vol. 5' on the iTMS\">Classic Disney Vol. 5<\/a> <\/em> (1970, 2:03).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two happier items: I got my financial aid, and Prairie and I are heading up to Mt.
