thanks for the reply. Darn, it looks like I changed my mind on the 2 day per week thing after all. New plan. Hopefully this will work. If my budget is around $200 a week why not save up? Save up till next summer and I will end up with 6-7K. Why not start next summer when I have a stable sum of money. Go every day instead and work on "getting it done!" as soon as possible. (3 months?). I know these prices are way too overpriced. But this 2 schools are my only options. There are schools "out there" for cheaper prices. But I am going to go ahead and be patient till next summer. Cut back on the expenses and fully focus on saving up. If needed, I am sure my parents will help me with a couple of grand. Not more, that's a given!
