tania:
i also went the route of taking out a line of credit to pay for my MA rather than a student loan, which have always seemed like far too many hoops to jump through because apparently my parents make a lot of money (on paper). applying for the line of credit was a really easy process and i can manage it with all the rest of my online banking stuff easy schmeasy. it's also doing pretty excellent things for my credit rating because i am phenomenal at making payments on time. i'm like a shark. if maintaining good credit was an olympic event i'd be representing canada. maybe i'd take the gold. maybe i could even like, rent a nice apartment in this stupid city one day. you may still need a co-signer to apply, though.

whoa (from we real cool):
--- Quote ---Alexander Crummell in his address before the Freedman’s Aid Society in 1883 spoke directly to a program for racial uplift that would focus on black women, particularly on education. He announced in his address that: “The lot of the black man on the plantation has been sad and desolate enough; but the fate of the black woman has been awful! Her entire existence from the day she first landed, a naked victim of the slave-trade, has been degradation in its extremest forms.” Frederick Douglass spoke regularly on behalf of gender equality. In his 1888 talk “I Am a Radical Woman Suffrage Man” he made his position clear:
--- Quote ---The fundamental proposition of the woman suffrage movement is scarcely less simple than that of the anti-slavery movement. It assumes that woman is herself. That she belongs to herself, just as fully as man belongs to himself—that she is a person and has all the attributes of personality that can be claimed by man, and that her rights of person are equal in all respects to those of man. She has the same number of senses that distinguish man, and is like man a subject of human government, capable of understanding, obeying and being affected by law. That she is capable of forming an intelligent judgment as to the character of public men and public measures, and she may exercise her right of choice in respect both to the law and the lawmakers…nothing could be more simple or more reasonable.
