Michelle - I hope the PS goes well for you when you get back to it. I had to write one for grad school. Mine was a bit easier because I am the first to go to college in my one family and I could talk about the cultural difference/shock my extended family had when my sister and I graduated with undergrads and she with her masters (and I will eventually get a master's too). Even if I didn't have that, I'd probably talk about my personal satisfaction and how I wanted to do this, and much of my life I've given to other people (as a mom, a wife, an employee, etc) and I'm finally giving to myself.
**********
AFM - I finalized my loan stuff for the winter class I'm taking. I confirmed with my advisor that I could still take the micoreconomics course I need during the spring semester (need to take it within 3 semesters of starting the program).
I've decided I'll take two courses this spring. One in-person class and one web class. The economics course will be the web course. May not be the best idea since I HATE economics, but I can't drive to school twice a week with a baby at home.
DH wasn't wild about me doing the winter course (two nights a week in-class, two nights/wk online) but since it's only 3 weeks he was okay with it. I just don't to have to deal with speaking to the Stafford people about loan repayment again! Seriously - I take one semester off to have a kid and they are all up in my face about repayments. Wowzas! These people want their cash!
