advent calendar, day 2: "scatter seeds of thoughtfulness."
financial news: i just got a 12-month forebearance on my student loan (retroactive to july), so i'm done worrying about that till august. i didn't know you got 60 months' total forebearance on those for the life of the loan. i figured out what security service's $2 "DDA DEBIT" withdrawal was (a minimum balance fee, which i am below). now i'm attempting to determine whether & how i can extract money from my retirement accounts (pers, specifically, i presume, since it's got the least in it).

psu wants me to come in today to sign the contract & talk more about the project they want me to do by the end of this term (eep! dec. 17!). but the contract won't actually take effect for a couple of more days. i'm actually less worried about the money and more worried about the deadline: each day means that many more hours i have to compress when the contract finally takes affect.
