I wish I had the talent to something ‘artsy.’ I put a chair rail up in my bedroom, and thought that was quite an accomplishment! I will stick with the analytical stuff…. and thank you for taking the challenge of making the world a more aesthetically appealing place. : ) !

Hm, I am not sure if insurance is offered in grad school. However, I do believe some form of insurance is offered to undergrads, so it would be feasible to offer it to full time grad students, too. That is worth a call to the school…. let’s see. Which office? You could try the health center for starters. I know NKU had a health center where one could get basic medical care, including tx for UTIs and immunizations for only $5.

I used my student loans to live on the last 4 years. I owe a bundle, but could not have done it without the extra money that was sent beyond merely the tuition.

Naomi, you are NEVER too old to go to grad school! I am a firm believer that when one door closes, another opens. Believing in yourself and being determined will create this aura around you where you just exude (like that word?) confidence. On a personal note, when I started for the BSN in nursing, I approached it knowing I had the intelligence inside to do it (from box thrower for a freight airline to nurse??). From the start, I did it well, even taking books on vacation with us….. study on the ski lift, study in the hot tub, (plastic report covers work wonders to protect your pages.) If someone tries to stand in your way, run ‘em over!

Keep us posted on how it goes. There are probably more in the group who could use the information, or a derivitive of it.

Prayers going up for you to find the right door, Naomi,

Whatever thy hands find to do, do it with all thy might. Ecc. 9:10
