umn.

Should i move to Massachusettes and take a year off school to make my tuition ten thousand dollars less? That's half as much. My mumma would shit if she heard this idea.
I have a lot of thinking to do. 
Like... take a year off to have a baby and then go back to school. I wonder if pregnancy would be sufficient to defer my loans for 6 months. 
??!!?? 

And, while I'm here... Why am i such a sagittarius?
Seriously?

does this university have on-site children's center? i can say from experience how difficult it is to go back to school once you have a child. thank goddess m and i were living with his parents and my school had child care. it sounds sweet now to say i used to pop in in-between classes to nurse her, but it was a lot of work being a new momma and a returning student.

love.

on top of child care also look into what other family friendly/single parent resources they may or may not have on campus and what orgs and groups there are in the city you are looking to move.

Thanks, that's good advice, too. They do seem to have a lot of family resources, but i haven't looked quite deep enough to see how they extend to single-parent families.
Thanks.
And congrats on your awesome news!

They do have on-site childcare... And I'll also have my mom for support (daytimes, however...?). I know it's going to be hard. And, between school and mothering, I would put the former off before the latter. My mom wants me doing both so badly, though, that i believe we can make it happen between us.
