A Letter (of Sorts)

Dear blog (and very few readers),

I just paid off my student loans.  Not too shabby since it's been 3.166667 years since I finished my graduate program.  And my payment schedule was for 15 (!) years.  A bit ironic when you think that the money came from the government (thank you, tax return) and went right back to them (hello federal loan).

That is all.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

me

So jealous. One of these days Blake's grad school loan will be paid off. It's amazing how much out of state graduate tuition costs! And for only one year! (He got an assistantship the second year, thankfully.) :) But congratulations! Really, that's an incredible feat.
