I am sure most of you have heard me complain about being a little short on the money these days. For starters, I am cheap. Secondly, I am going to school and paying a hefty price for it. So that doesn't leave a lot of disposable income (pretty much none) to play with. Plus, a stringent budget has been guiding most of our financial decisions. Mostly so that we can survive this year of school, and also so that we don't have a 'boatload' of debt come September.
As you may know there have been some problems/issues with the students in the international specialization. I had some troubles back in the fall that I sorted out, but a number of other students have been having issues with their projects and their advisor (the one I dumped, because he wasn't doing anything). Our MBA program director, along with MBA faculty have come up with a number of solutions for those students having difficulty. Great! Though it doesn't really impact me. And, due to some confusion on the additional 4k we each had to pay for our international intership experience, each student in the intern'tl specialization is now receiving a 2k stipend. Sweet! So, now I technically only have to pay an additional 2k for my intership to Oxford.
I also received a letter yesterday awarding me the Jack & Clara Milavsky Grad Assistance Fund. I was one of 2 receipents, and I received 1k. That makes me happy, and a little less worried about my financial situation.
Unexpected windfalls are nice!

That's really excellent, Marcia. But as I'm sure you know, most of a person's luck, they make themselves. You deserve it.
Thanks Suz, that really means a lot to me.
