I applied for a scholarship months ago, before I was even pregnant, that was for "graduates of Washington County high schools for graduate study" and figured I was a shoo-in.  Who from WaCo was going to grad school, when it has such a small population, and such a small percentage of people with any type of college degree.  I had to get recommendations, and write an essay, and fill out all kinds of forms.  I never heard back, so I started wondering who the hell DID get the scholarship, since it was such a weird demographic that could apply.

Then, today, I saw an envelope from MCF, that selects the recipients.  It was thin, so I held it up to the sun and saw "We are pleased" and knew I had it.  I had no idea what it was worth when I applied, but according the letter, I will be getting $2500! Free money!  It won’t be sent until December, one of those "make sure you don’t quit" clauses, but I know I won’t.  It won’t apply to tuition, because GAing pays for that, so I will get it as a cash award, instead. Wheeee!

I’m totally excited.  I needed that after my panic attack earlier this week. It will all be okay.
