Dang. I don't have any secrets just now.

There is college money for older students - but most of the time, you have to already BE in school to get it. Which means I still have to have something up front. I have applied for a job at the college I want to attend - if I went to work there, I'd get to go Almost Free. (not quite, but Almost) They haven't called me about it, but I'm going to keep checking on their other job openings.

In the meantime, I think I'll keep pursuing the personal trainer thing I started awhile back.
