Have you tried applying for any scholarships at all? Most grad schools offer partial or even full scholarships which should cover your tuition fees. Living scholarships also exist where they pay you a stipend every month. Not much but every bit counts.. Grants would be good and all, but it also depends on what's funding the grant. Unfortunately, it's hard to get grants due to the sheer difficulty in getting the necessary funding, added to the fact that most people tend to underestimate how much they need when they first apply for the funding..
Well, if yer talking about honesty, this is a slightly larger pic I took with my iphone (rather than that grainy one on my security card). I find if I don't look directly into the camera, my expression doesn't turn out as awkward/constipated.
PS: Hope this satisfies your curiosity Paya.
Thanks for your kind words soup, niels and nephy. Unfortunately, I tend to be pretty awkward in front of the camera, so this pic came out as a surprise since it was so rushed..
Eh, I promised a friend *glares dirtily at niels* that I would put up a pic of me..but since the camera and I have a long-standing feud that goes wayyyy back, this is the only photo I found that was acceptable. Ironically, it's the photo on a security key card that was taken in a rush just a few days back.
