Awesome! Awesome awesome! Hope she finds this a windfall. A small liberal arts college is a fine way to go in my opinion. (Cos that's what I did, at Albright, roughly an Ursinus sister school up the road)


(A few days before I went to work for the narcissist, I got an email from Ursinus asking for an interview for a job opening I had inquired about. Had I not already accepted... well I suspect it would have been perfect. )

She's looking at a handful of schools. All similar to Ursinus. Small liberal arts places. I think she will fit in well at one.

Congrats glatt. Great school. My daughter went to Neumann University. Not on par with Ursinus costwise, but I still feel your pain. Does that # include books and food?

Yesterday I was really happy for a trivial thing, but that's sometimes the way it works, isn't it?

I needed to deal with some stupid red tape at the courthouse on the will/estate I'm dealing with. I was dreading it because visiting this clerk is by appointment only and I didn't have an appointment.

Found the last spot in the court parking lot, and I paid for 2 hours of parking, just in case I was going to have to sit there for a while to wait my turn to be helped.

They had a miniature Christmas tree with a train running around it on the counter, Christmas music softly playing, and a candy jar. And the clerk in the back of the office looked up and saw me standing there, and came right over to help me. She updated and notarized my document and didn't charge me the two dollars I was expecting them to charge. It went so smoothly. She was so friendly. And I was back to the parking lot in under 5 minutes. Cars were circling at that point, looking for spots. So I gestured to one guy where my car was and he waited while I pulled out. I had to pass him as I pulled away, so I rolled down my window and grabbed my almost 2 hours of paid parking slip off the dash, and passed it over to him. He was confused at first, but then said "Awesome! Thank you. Happy Holidays."

So that's it. Gave me a boost that lasted most of the day.
