Dear my flist:

I am filling out a scholarship application ATM for a scholarship that you can only apply for if you have a career GPA of 3.6 or more. I have a 4.0, and they want me to write a 500 word essay on why I deserve the scholarship.

...

I HONESTLY just want to say BECAUSE I HAVE A 2 SEMESTER STRAIGHT BACHELOR'S LEVEL 4.0, DUH.

Anyway, my '

Er, well, I went to a small art college in Australia and then to a seminary over here in the states and managed to scrape through with zero debt, generally have no money and no assets other than my winning personality and my accent. I'm like the least academically-attuned person EVAR. I DO NOT GET THEIR STUPID RULES. Also, if I ever had to write something like that, it'd probably be along the lines of "GIVIT!" Also, the American mindset also makes little-to-none sense to me, about some things (especially this kind of thing). Also ... I don't budget. All the numbers are just ... why?

On the other hand, I don't tend to spend money for bad reasons, and somehow God has always made sure I have what I need when I need it. Not always before-hand, so there's not that comfortable buffer sensation, but where's the fun in that anyhow? (Actually, I will be honest: I'd really like to try the fun of having a buffer. That's just me, though. And I really can't complain.) And so far, I have not died. So I call it a sustainable method. *nods*

Er ... I don't know if that helps. But I'm a-hopin' and a-prayin' for ya!

I don't budget so much either, at least not specifically - it's more like we can afford something or we can't, but if we have 5 bucks left over I'm not going to say no to a sub sandwich, ya know? I, too, want to just say GIVIT! Lol.

DUDE. God does that to us too. TO the point where if we get a suprise!extra amount of money, we cling to it while warily looking at the sky and wondering what it going to break next. (Usually it is the washing machine.) Lol.

Prayers ALWAYS help!
