Transcript

So anyway, I was just thinking we can keep doing this forever. Absolutely not. Enrollment's Thursday. Hey, but did you have to bring that up right now? I was manifesting. Yeah, work on manifesting a payment plan. Cause tuition's due the same week as enrollment, and rent, and apparently groceries exist too. Wow, attacking me like this in my own body. Relax, I've already checked the budget and we're fine. Tuition is covered, which makes this good to start enrollment, and we still have room for some of those iced coffees. Just not the $9 one. Okay, you ate with that. I know. Now log off and let me register for my top pick.
