In September I had this great idea of applying for the STC Lonestar Community Scholarship. I have no idea where I got the idea other than the fact that a scholarship of some sort would really help out financially. I almost abandoned the idea, but a couple of weeks before the scholarship was due Steve persuaded me to finish what I started. He helped me put together a website where I presented the information the scholarship committee requested. Although it was stressful toward the end, we had fun putting it together. We put the website on a cd and used an autorun program to make it boot up when the user placed it in their computer. This way they did not have to navigate to a certain file on the CD. It was a good idea.
Well, here we are, two months later. I get home today and see a letter from the STC Lonestar Chapter sitting on the table. Excitedly, I opened it up. The letter congratulated me on being selected as the winner of the scholarship! I was so excited! It's great to win something, and this recognition can be listed on my resume. Not to mention, it's $600 that I do not have to pay for school. Praise God for this wonderful gift!
On another note - it's finals week. After I finish posting this, I will slave over my Political Science take home final. That is due tomorrow at noon.
Steve is done with one class, Linear Processes (I think that's the name of the class). He found out today that his final grade is an A in that class. I'm so proud of him! He has a final take-home final on Wednesday/Thursday that he has 24 hours to complete. He is not looking forward to it. What he is looking forward to is being done with his first semester of graduate school.
Well, it's time to work on the Poli Sci Test. Till next time!
