Made of Win!
My day, that is (for the most part).
Last week I officially graduated from high school. I didn't think it would have much impact on me, but at the graduation ceremony my legs grew weak when my class entered the stadium and my heart felt like it was going to burst from all the emotion. They were playing Pomp and Circumstance for me, and it felt really special. Unfortunately, one of my classmates died a little less than three hours after the ceremony. His car lost control on a curve and he crashed into a tree. Even though I didn't know him, I felt angry because I didn't (and still don't) think it was fair. He didn't even start living yet...
At work today, my time card wasn't in the office for the first time. I was so happy that I did a little dance in the middle of the store, right in front of customers. Yeah, I earned a lot of weird looks then. But my register decided to be a prick today, and kept eating all of my reciept paper. I think I ended up losing a few debit and credit reciepts that way, so I'm pretty sure that my card's going back in the office again next week. I fail.
Months ago I made my decision to attend Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, VA. I had actually got into all three colleges I applied for (MB, University of MD College Park, St. John's University), but MB offered the best deal. I recieved a scholarship of $11,000 per year, and a few grants along with a work study program. College Park only offered two loans and told me that I would have to find my own work study program on campus (which pretty much meant that I wasn't getting one since there are so few jobs available on campus and everyone scrambles for them). St. John's University offered $10,000 each year in scholarships. I'm still having a little trouble getting used to the idea of an all-female school, but I think I can handle it.
I hope I can handle it.
