My girlfriend and I are getting a new apartment right in the heart of downtown Baltimore. It's a great apartment (and a hell of a lot nicer and bigger than the cookie-cutter place we have now in White Marsh), and it's on Pratt St., literally right across the street from the baseball stadium. You look right at Oriole Park from our window, and can see M&T Bank Stadium in the distance. It's definitely more expensive than what we're paying now, but if I qualify for in-state tuition (and I jumped through an ungodly amount of flaming hoops to apply for that), it should be all right. I'm really excited about it.
In other news, I found some more agents listed in the most recent issue of Writer's Digest magazine, one of whom accepts young adult fantasies like my first book. I had pretty much given up on that one, but I reworked my query letter and synopsis (they're both better now, too) and sent them in, so fingers crossed, I guess.

Congrats on the new apartment. Your perseverence in getting the tuition help shows me that you're fighting for yourself instead of feeling defeated. I know what both of those emotions feel like. Believe me, the way you're going about thigs now is the way to go.
Hey, maybe you should submit my story too. It sure it reads like a fantasy. no one needs to know that it's based on real events.
Thanks so much for the b'day wishes.
