thanks, before that i lived in canton! the drive to downtown would take almost 2 hours and i had to leave at 6am. horrible. cobb, woodstock and roswell are nice places, took a while to get used to them but i enjoy finding new parks and small hole in the wall bars and resturants. u live in atl?

I am preparing for my limbering up exercises as we speak. Second position plie is my fave.


Do NOT try this at home if you are pregnant!!

Bumfluff! what's a gal to do now then

naturally

i used to live there. OH has been transferred quite a bit. i took my son to Canton to take his driving test, as it was a bit more quiet!! OH used to work near Perimeter mall - traffic was horrendous around there. you should really like Roswell, it's very nice.

Sweetie darling, you've already done it!!!

Yay - so all those voices I keep hearing ... they're real then!!!

I've posted summat in the Meet Ups section. There are, so far, three of us who would like to.

keeping up with the jones is massive over here in MA, just looking at the cars people drive and knowing how much people are paying for a mortgage, it's obviously people just can't afford those cars, or their houses would have more than just the basics for furniture....but up in ME, it was pretty different, you'd see it in southern maine, around York etc, but not in general....so it's kind of weird

It's 9% on earnings over £15K these days, that's $30K salary before you have to start paying it off...not bad going, and it gets wiped if you haven't paid it off when you hit 50 I think

federal loans can only be differed for one year, or if you take on more education.

Scotland is different, in that it's 3 years for a degree, fourth year to get it with honours, or cum laude as you like to call it.

you've got those same living expenses over here that is tacked on to tuition costs though as well as books, cafeteria food etc....

depends if you get UK rates or not, the type of uni, the type of course.

If you get UK rates, then the most they can charge you is £3K a year, doesn't matter where the school is, for tuition.

If you have to pay the rate without the LEA stumping the rest of that cost, at my uni, Brunel, west London, doing an industrial design course, that would be £12K a year, if international student, £16K a year, this was in 1998.

Rent was about £92 a week for a room with a sink.

I had around £2K in expenses for books, lab matierals (electronics, woods, plastics, metals everything), and then food, which I spent around £20-30 a week in the final year with the missus living with me.

I was living in Egham, Surrey though.

Tuition rates on liberal art farty courses were around £3-6K a year and sciences went for around £8K a year.

Part of the massive cost, it's ranked in the top two in europe for design, it's an expensive place, shit loads of equipment and research came out of it.
