Working Girl
Well, I went to my campus visit at VCU and found the Graduate school faculty to be very pleasant and supportive. They practically had my class schedule planned for the entire program before I even darkened their door! That's already more guidance than I received during all four years as an undergraduate and I haven't even moved to Richmond yet. The dark cloud to all these silver linings is that the school won't be able to fund me to the degree that will cover all my expenses. I will need to work my way through school again, a depressing realization. It was suggested by the faculty to look into jobs at the medical school because of previous experience in research labs. Unfortunately, there wasn't much available on the employment website so it looks like a transfer to the new Whole Foods might the safest option, if not the most attractive. I'm thinking a position as an overnight stocker for produce or grocery will be the best in terms scheduling with classes. I can work 30 hrs a week and keep my health benefits and discount card.

Ugh, fulltime school with fulltime job and I'll STILL need to take out loans to cover my tuition. This economy BLOWS!!
