I got some very good news today! I'm interested in studying mechanical engineering in college, and we applied to four engineering schools with MechE programs. Today we heard back from the first one -- a state school 15 minutes from us, UMass Lowell, the state school in the area known for engineering. I was accepted and given a renewable scholarship that would reduce my tuition to pennies. This is very welcome news, as I'm highly suspicious of the idea of amassing any debt and this would definitely provide a debt-free path through a decet school . Of course, I would still wait to hear from other schools before making any decisions, but it's very nice to know that a good option is already at hand.

I'm kinda happy right now and having trouble settling down (and also using too many smilies ).
