In Retrospect

I wonder if I should have gone to that other HU for my doctorate. I was admitted and enrolled when I got word from down here about my fellowship. So I left the DMV. Because I didn't want to live off of loans the first year and bank on getting an assistantship the following years, and assistantship that would barely cover rent.

I really did want a doctorate in Sociology more than one in Education. But I didn't want to live off of loans.

So now I'm still borrowing but my livelihood isn't dependent on loans and a part-time job at the panty plantation like it would have been in DC.

Did you know how expensive DC is? Esp for a person from the south?

But I really like this school. And I'm finding out my classmates borrowed to pay off car loans and to just keep themselves situated.
