Thanks! Yeah, I'm definitely being mindful of the cost. I'm really hoping I can get funding, like a teaching and/or research assistant position (it's in public health). One's a state school (in the state I live), so it would be less bad (that's how I managed the MS degree--well, and taking one class at a time for most of it, while still working PT). I know one of the places I'm applying to covers 75% of tuition automatically once you hit the stage where you're working on the dissertation (not surprisingly, they're one of the particularly competitive ones). Not sure for the others.

Ugh, couch, I have had terrible lower back pain all week. I'm 95% sure it's stress-related, but knowing that doesn't seem to make it better. I'm going to try twisting around and screaming, "You have no reason to be hurting!!" at it until the pain goes away.

Ugh, sorry to hear that--hope you feel better soon. Sometimes I wish I could yell at my brain in the same way...
