Well, perhaps I spoke hastily when I posted last. Richie (my husband) saw me moping around the house after posting, and took a look at my G3's screen. He said, "whatever happens, this is not the end of your college career."

Even if we have to sacrifice further for it, I'm going to continue to go to LAVC, and hopefully I will be able to graduate and move on to CSUN and their teacher prep program. Full speed ahead, with or without the fee waiver. Ganbatte.
