This week Cessie and Jonah finally got registered for classes at Austin Community College. But when I went to look at cost, to our shock, it said we were out of district. We are so close to the Round Rock campus that I totally thought we would be in district. Tuition there is super cheap! And that is a major reason we chose it. The cost of living out of district, is an extra $3,300 per semester, per student. So basically an extra $13,200 more than we had anticipated. Quite the blow. So we did something crazy...We went and rented an apartment across the street from campus! It will end up costing us half the amount over the year than it would have if we paid out of district. Cessie and Jonah are not going to move in it immediately, although they would love to. They will however be able to hang out in it between classes and it has a really nice business center where they can work on computers for school work, with scanners, and fax machines, etc... And a pool. A nice gym, and other great amenities. Cessie wants to move into it as soon as we will allow her and is looking for a second job to bring in a bit more income to afford rent herself. Jonah, we think we'll have him wait longer. So kinda crazy. We could have two kids out of the house now if we wanted. And they will be out before we know it.
