It's amazing how you can get so upset about something you never had and probably didn't deserve.
A couple days ago I got sent and email and letter stating I had won a scholarship. I got nominated for this scholarship last year but didn't win. So, when I received word that I won I was extremely shocked but definitely VERY grateful. They sent a letter to my house and in the letter to my house and in my campus mail they included thank you cards so I could write to the lady that selected me. I thought this was really happening...until today. Financial aid called me to tell me I received all that information "in error" and they were going to contact the office that alerted me so they could "contact the REAL winner." It was said that bluntly and matter-of-factly. It was said like my mom DIDN'T cry when she got the letter in the mail. It was said like my parents WEREN'T proud of me. It was said like I HADN'T poured my heart out to that lady in my thank you cards. But what the hell does financial aid care? It's not their fault I guess. Whatever...it just sucks. At least it's snowing and the rest of my classes were cancelled.
