Okay, I just got back home and I am STOKED.
I have recently quit my job so I can go to college full time. I saved up money all the past year. I'm starting my first semester on the 17th. There was an orientation and fair today, and I attended it. Great information, met some nice people, and I took care of everything I needed.
At the college fair, there was a rally. Actually, there were about fifteen rallies. Everything from T-shirts to tutoring coupons to class textbooks to coffee store certificates to art supplies. The big prize was a scholarship. Everybody had six rally tickets. Only one was good for the scholarship, two were for electives and three were for core classes. No biggie. There were well over a hundred people there.
My name was called. I won a really nice boxed dictionary and thesaurus set. Really cool. I was quite happy. I've been wanting a good dictionary and thesaurus for quite a while. I was ecstatic (on the back of the box, there's a $48 selling price). Later on, I'm explaining how thrilled I was with the dictionary and thesaurus to some people I had been talking with, when I heard my name called again.
It was for the scholarship! I won the scholarship! That's worth about 25% of the tuition for my first semester! It's freakin' great!
