Yes if you have the web reader on your home computer or laptop then it uses an internet connection to load the pages. If you have the app on any of the other devices it's made for like tablets and phones then the books save to the device and are accessible offline as well.

yikes, *than* I'm describing.. shoulda looked that over before I posted it. I'm in Kno right now taking a look at one of my books and I also forgot to mention a feature I was convinced by is that when you highlight you can give the highlight tags, one of which is "for assignment" so that way when we're reading and see something for a specific assignment or paper, etc. we can categorize it. I'm sure this will be extremely helpful for us.

I always thought that I would never try an e-Textbook because of my love for physically highlighting, taking notes, and turning pages. I recently found this website (and app/download for iPad, Mac, PC, Android Tablet) called Kno. I just went all in after watching tutorial and trial videos of it. You can take notes and highlight easily via Kno in the textbook and even make them into flashcards, quick notes, etc. It then saves all of these notes to each book so you can easily find them and organize them more generally or more detailed then I'm describing here. I haven't played around with it in its entirety yet but I think this is finally my solution to keeping my notes, highlights, and "Etc"s + staying light as I will likely be using public transportation and my bike 4/5 days of the week. I use Kno on my netbook.

I think it's just going to continue to be a good idea to revisit what the long-term goals are and have updates and reminders and just a genuine love of what each other is doing and how they're making themselves better. I had a panic when I realized (At the end of my SO and I applying to and hearing back from schools) that we were going to be apart and it was a reality now. At first everything was just hectic enough waiting for answers and making decisions on grad schools but once things started to settle it hits you hard. We have been living together since 08 and are in our 5th year of marriage with him going back to a nursing program in his native country of Sweden and me going to graduate school back to my hometown in San Jose, CA. Luckily he doesn't start until Spring so we have a few months of being in San Jose together before 3 years of separation. The hardest part is figuring out how to visit because the first year I can go there (Summer 2014) but the summer after that I'll be tied up graduating from my MSW program as well as having to find a job so I can pay-back the stipend I will be receiving during my school time. So we just remind ourselves about why we're doing what we need to and how 3 years isn't long to wait to have our educations in order and ready to jump-start a new phase when we're back in the same place again! I think in a lot of ways we've also been-there-done-that because before we lived together we had met online and dated and were only able to see each other in person once in a 2 year span so we've gone through the waiting and skyping and snail mail before. Snail mail really does help. It's fun to see handwriting or get a package from your SO. I'm also mostly just hoping that graduate school keeps us both really busy.

Yes, I am

The interviews we were referring to are for the Title IV-E Stipend

Hi there Earl, We are the same concentration You're the only other CYF concentration I know of that's been accepted too. I sent you a PM

I will be what's your concentration?

San Jose State University CYF concentration

Thanks! I found this on the CalSWEC website, but I don't know how many are being interviewed so as far as odds/chances I'm not sure what they are: Q: How many stipends are available? A: Each of the current 21 graduate schools of social work with a Title IV-E MSW program may award up to 20 stipends per class of full-time students. Participating schools that have a part-time program may award up to 15 slots of student support per class of part-time students, to a maximum of 30 students.

Mine is May 14th, but like Sass said they are either April 22nd or May 14th so some people will have interviewed in the next couple of weeks before the date I go in.

Heard from the Title IV-E program to let me know I'd have an interview today! Jackie says that we should get emails from Pnina on Monday to confirm if we've been given an interview so we can confirm the time. I found out by phone today only because she was very kind and courteous to give me a heads up so I could book the flight out to SJ Any other CYF acceptees to SJSU? Did you apply to the stipend program as well?

Does anyone know the etiquette for asking who are reviewers are/were? I think I'm just so excited about being accepted to the program that knowing who reviewed my application means a lot to me. Are reviewers kept confidential?

Congrats!!
