I'm not a resident of any state....what!!!

So when I applied for graduate school I just took it for granted that I was going to be awarded Idaho Residency. I've lived out of Idaho for seven months, on two separate occasions and didn't think it would be a big deal. Turns out it is. Now the problem is that to reestablish residency you have to live in the state without the intent to go to school. How am I supposed to do that when I am going to school when I apply to graduate school? They don't provide any clauses on how to establish residency while going to school.

I'm not really sure what to do now. The difference between going to graduate school as a resident and as a none resident is a little over $7,000 per semester. That is the difference!!! So the only way for me to establish residency quickly is to marry an Idaho resident. So if any of you know any amazing, talented, driven, honest, kind, sincere, hard working, spiritual men that are looking for a girl like me, would you mind sending them my way? I'm not going to marry just any old Joe off the street. He needs to be a legitimate great guy.

I am not really desperate, but it just got me to thinking. I wasn't really planning on putting marriage on the top of my priority list for at least a few more years. If it happened to happen as those things seem to for most people who get married, that would be great, but it wasn't on the list of things to do at the moment. I guess the lord has a funny way of reminding us what his plans are. Maybe that isn't what he is doing, but it sure seems like it.
