Ohh that actually sounds pretty cool. Shame that you have to work hard to pay off the tuition. :( I got a scholarship for that. >.< I am in college since 2010. :P
It's fine, it's just I get bugged when I have things to do that I haven't been able to do, so pending trades tend to start to nag at me, but that's a personal thing. I'm glad you like the Growlithe. :) Glad I could help!
I was connected in a trade with you for like an hour, I guess you left your DS on :P
If all else fails, maybe just trade the Pokémon to Mac of York, and he'll get it to me later.
