Oh, and on a personal note, somebody pinch me: Today I wrote the final check to pay off my student loans. The $15,810 I once owed for my time in New Haven is finally, like my major, history.

Thanks to online banking, I just overpaid my student loan by $140.19. Now they owe me!

Congratulations!!
Wait...$15,810. That's it?! You, my friend, have gotten off very, very lightly. I'm looking at walking out of grad school with debt 4 times that!

Yeah, but that's for a second degree -- I've still got just the one!
