finally! things are going to be okay.
so today, i wrote this essay about how teenagers misuse money and was going to send it off to the citibank scholarship competition...until my computer wouldn't print it! my dad and i ran around in a frenzy trying to print it off, but it never did! i cried and cried.
then, i had an epiphany! i called nicole, and she agreed to print it off if i emailed it to her. i figured that since it was only 10:30 so far, and the mail got picked up by 10:00, if i got it there by 10:45 everything would be okay. however, upon arriving at the postal office at 10:45 my mother and i discovered that there was no one to be found.
so, of course, my mom took the manila envelope in hand and tramped off to knock on all the doors we weren't supposed to, "private u.s. property", "no trespassing" and such. we finally found one after using the exclusive postal-officers-on-duty-only entrance, and the lady agreed to postmark it for march 11, 2005!
hooray. that was a spectacular night--after my weeping fit. hah!
