Some actual good news to start the day

Well, I wasn't doing too well this morning (grumbling about roommates who convince you to play WoW when all you really wanted to do was get some studying done and go to sleep early) until I checked my USC e-mail. Apparently I won a scholarship, the Bartlett award! It's only $2500 for the year (a drop in the bucket at USC) but it's still really good news!

Wow, congrats.

I remember when I was surprised with a scholarship from my high school for $800 to spend if I attended college (which I did - DeVry Institute in City of Industry, '85-'89), and although at the time I thought that $800 was a load of cash, I soon realized that it only paid my first two months rent at the dorm.

Still... it did help, and it was a welcome surprise.

Thanks! Yeah, even if it's not much it still helps! It especially helps since I don't qualify for any financial aid other than loans because this is a second bachelors.
