Finally! I got some validation for my efforts at Cornish thus far. I submitted Work for a merit based scholarship and won a $1,000 scholarship! I also found some work study that I can do on campus today, I can even start before the end of the month. On top of these joyous occasions, I ran into an old friend from elementary school while walking today! Would you believe it? She was the first person I ever kissed >>. You never know when people might slip back into your life. I also made $10 selling a course reader I had gotten for a class I dropped by selling it to a classmate. On top of all these positive things, I stopped by a satanic book store I always walk by and found some of my favorite incense (Nag Champa) for just $2! The only thing keeping this day from being perfect is not having a special someone to come home to, but you can ask for everything. I readily look forward to casting off at least some of the burden of money.

See? I'm not always down ^^;
