One bright spot, I think.
You will always have a greater appreciation for having him with you, moreso I think than "normal" couples. I appreciate every second I have with my husband, and I never want to be apart from him again. It's something I know I wouldn't fully appreciate had we not been separated.
Hang in there!

Let me help out for those who never attended college.
First, you can be a student here if you are from a foreign country.
Most public universities don't have a very large endowment. Not many people are aware that most of the financial aid grants comes from the interest gained from these endowments. Since the economic problem of the past two year or so, most students drop out and work. This made the public school suffer from of enrollment which would lower operating budget. RI decided to grant out of state students with in-state tuition. I'm not surprised at these desperate attempt to solicit more enrollment by granting instate tuition to foreigners and out of state students.

Austin student here -I had to show my GC and fill out an immigration status form to qualify for in state tuiton. I never saw or heard from the affidavit mentioned in the article that qualifies you for in state tuition if you are in the path to residency. The rules were very clear - you have to be a US Citizen or LPR to qualify for instate tuition. When I was under the K1, they were going to charge me as international student so we decided to wait until I got my GC.

They tried this and failed in Massachusetts. But they'll keep trying. With unemployment at 10% why is their such a drive to make it easier and easier for illegal immigrants to live and WORK in this country?

From the article:
""The law says students who are not U.S. citizens and want to seek the assistance must have attended school in the state for at least three years before they graduate from a Texas high school. Students also must file an affidavit saying they plan to seek permanent residency.""
So yeah, it's jacked up and they don't even have to be a PR to get the assisstance. Just be here illegally attend high school, and then 'say' they'll get their PR status eventually. It's BS.

DALLAS (AP) ― More than 12,000 illegal immigrants, non-permanent residents or non-U.S. citizens paid in-state tuition or received other such financial aid at public colleges and universities across Texas during late 2009, the Dallas Morning News reported Monday.
The figures from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board show about 1 percent of all Texas college students, in the fall semester, benefited from a 2001 law granting such in-state tuition.
The law says students who are not U.S. citizens and want to seek the assistance must have attended school in the state for at least three years before they graduate from a Texas high school. Students also must file an affidavit saying they plan to seek permanent residency.
During the fall semester, 12,138 students benefited from the law. Texas awarded about $33.6 million in state and institutional financial aid to those students between fall 2004 and summer 2008, according to the newspaper.
Gov. Rick Perry, who earlier this month won the GOP primary, supports the law aiding illegal immigrant students. Perry, in a recent debate, said the students are on the path to citizenship.
The Immigration Reform Coalition of Texas filed a challenge to the law in December.
"It's not like we're swimming in budget surpluses," said coalition attorney David Rogers, who maintains that taxpayers suffer because of the law. "It's the responsibility of the government of Mexico to educate Mexican citizens."
University of Houston law professor Michael A. Olivas said federal law allows states to draft their own policies. "It is a matter for states to determine," said Olivas. "In-state status is a state issue."
Former legislator Rick Noriega, who sponsored the in-state tuition law, said that educating the students is an economic development issue.
"This is about access to higher education," said Noriega, now the president of Avance, a nonprofit organization that educates Hispanic parents on preparing children for school.
"The alternative is to slam the door on any hopes and dreams. How are they going to perform in high school if they don't even have a chance at higher education?" he said.

Generally, Pi Day is celebrated at 1:59 in the afternoon (or morning after setting in 12 hours or 24 hours on your clock) because of the approximation to 6 digits (3.14159). Google has decided to create a doodle for the occasion.
Which is known as a day of Pi or Pi day is it, anyway? The approximation of Pi written mathematically by 3.14 is celebrated March 14 or 14/03. In English, Pi results in the March 14, 3 / 14.
In France, Pi tends to be celebrated November 10, since it is the 314th day of the year. For scientists, the deal is different. The number is denoted by the Greek letter TT, a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio between the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Hence, the rounded doodle.
It is also the value of the ratio between the area of a circle and the square of its radius. Hence, the mathematical formulas on the doodle. Pi is found in many forms, associated to the field of physics or engineering in particular. Google did not hesitate to ‘Pi-ize’ logo.
