They cost way more than you think when you look at the big picture. Glad your repair wasn't too costly, car troubles are no fun!

I'm sure you're going to rock it! Keep thinking positive! About the car, I know how crummy that can be. I recently added up how much my car costs me each semester... Woo! I'm really considering buying a $50 bus pass (discounted for students) and riding the bus all of next semester to save some major cash. Is public transit an option where you live? If so, I'd look into it. Congrats, girl! I'm sure you're going to rock it! Keep thinking positive!
