Re: taxes - make sure you are getting the Make Work Pay thingy (up to $400) and all your student stuff back for paying tuition. My lady at H&R Block got me a bunch of money back on rent for "room and board" and students are eligible for something like up to $1,200 back. I was only in school half the year, so I don't qualify for the student payback, but I'm still getting like $1,800. Andrea qualified and she's getting like $2,400. Just sayin', get yo money babe! :D
