New year, new issues

Hi everyone! Happy New Year & thanks so much for the wonderful Christmas presents! We loved loved loved having the fam here over the holidays. So much food, so much energy. I think we were more worn out than they were after the visit.
On January 2, Adam and I filled out my FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), at least, as thoroughly as we could without this year's W2's. As far as I know, they're all approved and submitted pending updates once we've received aforementioned W2's. Finances are out of our hands until further notice.
I'm in process of hunting for a couple of hip-pocket monologues in case any of the schools want more. I've got a comedic Shakespeare and dramatic contemporary, so now I need a dramatic Shakespeare and comedic contemporary. The Shakespeare won't be hard to find, I just need to encounter a character that strikes my fancy. For the comedic modern, I'm hoping to bend the rules a bit and find a decent monologue in a novel by one of my favorite authors: Christopher Moore or Jennifer Crusie, or whatsername Weinstock. Even Sophie Kinsella would go over really well.
At the same time, I'm also working on "Nebraskaland" as state history play I'll be doing a few performances of in schools over the next few months. It's cheesy as all hell, but at least only 22 pages long.
Countdown is at about five weeks to auditions and fifteen weeks until we quit our jobs!
