So I thought that my FAFSA corrections hadn't been processed, but they had. My EFC is 000, just as I wanted. Now if only my loans could be $0 also.

But when I started frequent browsing again, it was even worse, because I was just reading about super-techie boring stuff. It was like working, when I wasn't at work. After my meeting yesterday, I have decided this must stop. Here's hoping I can stick to the plan....
