Blog, blog, blog… would a site by any other name seem as silly? 🙂
Today has been a most happy day, except for one rude interruption in the afternoon, which was quickly dispelled as the day wore on.
It all started when my big whopping check finally arrived. Yup, that magazine in New York finally paid up. Yippies for me! It felt great depositing it.
Happy news numero dos: I heard back from those scholarship peoples. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to actually receive the award because it says in the rules applicants must attend school this fall. When I applied I was planning on it, but now I can’t, as mentioned recently. But, I heard from them today and they said they’ll defer it until next year. Woohoo! 🙂
Icky incident – something was said and I started feeling really bad, thinking there’d be no way in heck for me to earn enough money for college in time, but that was dissipated when my Dad got home and announced he got a promotion, a rather nice raise in pay, and wouldn’t you know it – it’s almost exactly how much I needed for college. Huzzah! Mom says I still have to contribute a sizeable amount, but I’m peachy with that. I can handle “sizeable”, I just can’t handle “every single penny [or, in this situation, every single pence].”
So, as this lovely day comes to a close I’m hoping that my luck will carry over to this new scholarship application I’m filling out. Carpe Diem Foundation here I come! Mwahahaha. I’m also hoping my friend Sam will agree to go with me to his prom so I can enter the Duct Tape ‘Stuck on Prom’ contest – I’d have to make my clothes entirely out of duct tape. Cool, huh? I’ve already got a dress designed and if it works it should be pretty funny.
More happy news – I got another web job. Happy happy, joy joy. Life is good.
