That was easily the hardest thing I ever did. I thought it would be easier being away from the distractions, but it was actually much easier for me to ignore. :) It also cost me extra money because my TAship paid my tuition and a stipend, and since I was not a full time student anymore with classes to teach, I had to pay for the classes out of pocket. Ouch! My husband was able to enroll in "Continuous enrollment" to keep his student status without taking a class, but it still cost a pretty penny. We are both SO GLAD to be done! I like your blog. It's nice to see another (soon to be former) grad student that has their thinking cap on about finances!
