That was an AMAZING Cardinals game. I wish I could have been there! Walk off grand slam to win in the 9th, sweeping the Cubs, and moving up in the race against the Reds. Wow.
Life is going well but seems to always be so busy. I feel like I need to be a hermit for a week so that I can get pulled together. Home was a lot of fun seeing people. I didn't get to see everyone but I worked hard to see a lot. It was great to have Elizabeth in Fort Collins even though I was super exhausted and trying sometimes unsuccesfully to be a good host. Next weekend I start working for Vail selling ski passes. We don't get paid much but we get free season passes and we get like 8 $30 lift tickets so if anyone wants to come visit and go skiing or snowboarding . . . Work is out of control recently but hopefully things are going to start getting better. Currently I do NOT like the kids that are living at the house very much. I'm currently debating with myself whether I should apply for grad schools next fall. I've always known that I might go back but I also knew that I needed a break and I'm glad that I took it. I'm thinking about getting my Master's in Social Work at CSU since I would be able to pay instate tuition there and also continue to pick up shifts at Namaqua so I don't go broke, but we'll see . . . I don't really want to go back to school but at least it would be staff that I wanted to learn. And it's not as expensive as I thought which is good but still I don't know if I want to be doing it or not. Anyone have any advice?
Well I better head to bed but I thought I would do a quick update since I've been busy and a huge slacker.
Oh and soccer started today. We lost but still I love soccer!

That was a really awesome game!!
Okay, I just glanced at a few things online (which I'm sure you've already seen and thought about, but here you go anyway)...
CSU tuition for your MSW would be $5468/year (resident). UMSL tuition for your MSW would be $9342/year (as a MO resident - could you still be one?). While this is a huge difference, if you divided that $3874 difference out, it's about $322/month - so cheaper than rent (at least here, I don't know in CO). So the difference is negligible when it comes to money stuff if you were just to live in Fort Collins vs. at your dad's place (although I don't know of any part-time ways to make money there... although then again you're not so much supposed to work a lot in school...) Also important is the thought that you would know a lot more friends in the St. Louis area, whereas things might get a little lonely in Fort Collins for another couple years (I know you do have friends there, but you know what I mean). Of course this is also just selfish me wanting you to be in STL in the hopes that I can see you more :)
(This is of course all under the assumption that you will even still be wanting to get your Master's in Social Work, instead of just getting another job or something along those lines.)
Did I help at all, or just make things more complicated? You do have some time to think things over before applying or anything. My vote is (always) MO - if it's even on your ballot! Good luck with your decision making!
