You're all clear kid!

This month I will complete repayment of my first student loan, a non-federal $2,000 emergency spot I had to pick up from Citibank my last semester when NYU was jerking me around because I was an RA and I was graduating early. This only lowers my monthly bill by about twenty bucks, but it's psychologically a big hurdle to clear.

Overall, I am about halfway free from my student loans, which feels like something of an accomplishment. It's a long way from financial stability (or "success," though I'm still pretty un-motivated to go out and amass lucre) but it's kind of nice to be able to knock one debt off my list.
