January 5th is registration day at school, only next Monday now. While I wouldn't say that I am excited about this new semester, I am inordinately happy. True, there is no reason why I should not be happy, but all the same I have no doubt that few others would empathize with my feelings.

I've been researching heavily into bursaries during the holidays. My family is neither rich enough to afford my tuition, nor poor enough to warrant funding; so instead I am going to attempt to obtain the majority of necessary funding through awards. I have already entered into 11 different awards and I am attempting a 12th.

Wish me luck,

Jess
