And so it goes, and so it goes

A continuing update of current life events: figuring on no car insurance, I'm still about $1700 short for school in the fall, but it looks like I'm getting a loan from the Jewish Educational Loan Service...it's not deferred, but since it's a small sum in the scheme of things, I should be able to make the payments. As to the car...well, cars...my bro's silver '94 has died 3 times in as many days, including this morning less than 2 hours after picking it up from the shop, and it makes me growl...however, it seems to be okay now, finally. My car is FINALLY getting fixed (nope, not totalled), so I get to keep it...I just don't get to drive it much, since it won't be road insured at school. But such is life...might make things a bit more difficult, but I should still be able to, for example, buy groceries, so long as I drive speed limit and only go no more weekly. Other than that...I just want next Friday evening to get here, so Sarah's here, and then we go to RenFest on Saturday, and then she leaves, but I get to go back to Mount Pleasant, thank goodness. Also, should anyone have a desire for an AMAZINGLY good read, look into THE SPARROW, by Mary Doria Russell. It will absolutely knock you off your feet. It's sci-fi, won the Arthur C. Clarke award, but it's also just an amazing piece of humanistic fiction. This is one stir-crazy mofo, signing off.
