FELLOWSHIP!

YAY!!!!!!

I received my official acceptance letter from SIUC today, and to my surprise found out that I've been awarded the Morris Doctoral Fellowship, a 5-year aid package which includes a tuition waiver and stipend of $1625 per month! I was very much hoping, though not expecting, to receive this, as it will make transitioning out of the Army much much easier. Praise the Lord. . . . . . .

We'll be going to Carbondale!!!!!

6 months ago you were worried about getting accepted, now look at you, Morris Fellow. :-) I know you worked hard for it, and I think you deserve the opportunity. Congratulations!

mazel tov, I will give Carbondale a good look-see. I am visiting a friend in Makanda who bought a farm down there and with whom you played soccer on Ann Pickerel's team years and years ago. You guys even have the same first and middle names.

you got it made, yo.
