Some actual good news to start the day

[sharan]

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!

Thanks! Yeah, tuition is about $30,000 for the year, so it is close to 10%! That is definitely going to help! My mother told me she'd lend me the money for this year so I wouldn't have to worry about interest (I have so many loans already I completely ran out of Stafford loan money) but the less I have to borrow from her the better!:)

I guess that 4.0 GPA from the fall paid off! I'm just glad this summer class is at Santa Monica College and won't go on my USC transcript, since at this point I think I'll be really lucky if I get a B.
