Goodnight!

Believe it or not, I actually got a lot of my math done in a relatively quick time tonight. I'm still not finished yet, but I need to be rested for my English exam tomorrow so I'm calling it quits. That's not gonna stop me from doing a small amount of exercise once I'm ready for bed. Especially if I need to be pageant ready...

Goodnight!

Now that I have to get fit, I should probably try to get back on track right now...

So I accidentally entered a Pageant....

So while looking through a list of random scholarships I saw something for "Distinguished Young Women" and thought "oh hey! That's me!" and decided to apply. The only requirements were that I be a U.S. Citizen (check), not married (check), and not currently/never pregnant (HELLA CHECKS). That was easy enough, and AFTER I applied I got a notification about how their state committee for Ohio would review my application and consider me for moving forward in their pageant. Needless to say, I was shocked because this girl most certainly does not have a swimsuit figure yet..

The guidelines in the competition are talent, fitness, academics, interviewing skills, and then general presentation of myself. This should be interesting to say the least...

I FINISHED MY FIRST APPLICATION OH MY GOD OH MY GOD THIS IS HAPPENING!!!!!

I also just finished a scholarship application for the Coca Cola Scholars foundation. I doubt I'll get it, but it's worth a shot and the deadline was coming up quickly!

I'm hoping to work on my essay for the DePaul application tonight. I have to get this submitted before November 15th so that I can get merit-based financial aid. If I get my butt in gear now, I should be just fine.

I just realized that I can change the font on this bad boy and ahhhhh I just wanna keep playing with it!

Look how fun and dyslexia-friendly this font is!!!!! I'm gonna keep using Helvetica from here on out! We use Helvetica Neue for the majority of our stuff in newspaper, as in headlines, bylines, captions, design/photography credits, and so forth. It's a nice font. Normal Helvetica is okay, but it's not quite as lovely and versatile as Helvetica Neue.

Today was really uneventful, yet again! On the bright side, things have gotten less stressful for me in school. Sure, my GPA isn't where I want it to be, but I'm doing my best and I'm coming out in a decent place. Also, having some friends and actually doing things and hanging out with people is very very wonderful and I like it a lot. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner! Also, the newspaper goes to print tomorrow and it actually is on time with relatively few errors! If things keep going this smoothly, I think I'll survive quite well.
