Did you get it that time?
All week I have been trying to finish up my summer reading book, The Book Thief, before school starts on Monday. Of course, I had to pick THE LONGEST book there was available this summer.. Humph.
Luckily, last night the book got semi-interesting and with 130 pages left till the epilogue (which was another 20 pages), the end was in sight. So, I sat down and finished it. PHEW! The last summer reading book EVER is done with!! Can you sense a little bit of excitement there?
This week I have also been trying to finish these essays so that once my parents help me with the last portion of the app, I can submit it all to Texas A&M! This afternoon, I finished the rough draft for the last essay! I'll probably revise/edit it tonight (I don't like this essay as much as the other ones. Maybe because my the time I wrote it I was feeling pretty done with this essay business) and then I'll be officially d-o-n-e.
I also started looking for other scholarships today too. Did you know you can get a scholarship for being TALL?? Why did I not get those genes?? Sigh. I did not realize how many different scholarships there were out there though, so I guess that is a good thing?
Tonight while I was watching the news with Daddy, they were talking about this website called Sponsor My Degree, where you have the ability to advertise yourself, what you want to do in college, why you need scholarship money, etc on this webpage, and then companies can search and donate money. It's called Microsponsorships, most of the time $5 or $10, but still!! Every dollar adds up! So I got online and started doing that tonight. Geesh!
One of my best friends, Megan, leaves tomorrow for college. So tonight I have to go over and say "see you later" (we aren't saying bye. Neither of us can handle that again after she moved to Canada for a year). Sigh.
Been so busy this week! And school starts up again Monday. BOO! Summer is officially over.
