GRR-- my tuition assistance has been denied!

After all that trouble to get admitted to the damn MA program and now they are denying tuition assistance!! Wow. Poor Carl is really pissed. And I don't blame him one bit. First they take away his travel money so he has to pay out of his own pocket to travel, now this, too? It is amazing. Well, pack your bags, New Zealand here we come. I guess he may seriously start looking for a new job if this is not resolved quickly and in his favor.

In other news, I am feeling ok, though a bit headachy. I actually have been sleeping well the last several nights so that helps. The web pages for SRF are coming along ok, too, and should be done in plenty of time. The only thing I have to worry about is getting my paper done for David's class. It is due next Monday, and I have not yet written page one. Got to have 20 pages by Monday. Whew. Don't know where I will get the time to actually write it, but somehow I will get it done. I have to finish reading Pale Fire as well. All the while I read it, I remember why I never liked Nabokov -- after a while even I get sick of navel gazing, and it just seems to go on and on. Sigh. His ideas are so cool, it is too bad the execution is so... so.... dull. Cannot wait to put American Lit behind me once and for all. Goodbye American dream! Good riddance.

The baby is doing great. The girls are doing great. Carl, besides being pissed, is doing great. Hanukkah has begun and it is wall to wall festivities for the next week or so. I need to call Angelico's to see how much we owe on the cello. Then it is Aunt Syl for the funds so we can afford it. The damn instrument is $950! Sigh.
