Today I woke up 30 minutes later than I was supposed to :( boo.  It's strange because normally I always wake up the best on Mondays since I had a nice, restful weekend.  It's also kind of ironic cause I just read this weekend in psych about sleep and how we need more hahaha oops :)  I had to rush around this morning to get ready but I made it to school on time.  Our driveway was supppper icy and my car was out of control but I managed :)  Also, it was 40 degrees this morning?!?!  Excuse me?!?!!  It's January 23rd...not okay.  Speaking of psych, we used the whole day to talk about strange things that happen to us when we sleep hahaha.  It was super fun and interesting and a nice waste of a class :)  Also, since I get written on in permanent marker for tumbling, my number was still on my hand and somebody thought it said "lose" hahaha so here is the number 3501 upside down, spelling out "lose" :)

So that's all that happened today...


Just kitting :)  I came home from school with a letter from the Office of Admissions at the University of Iowa and I started getting really nervous because I couldn't think of any other reason they would have written me other than if it was about the scholarship!  But I wasn't supposed to hear about the scholarship until early February.  I opened it and it said that I got the Old Gold Scholarship!!!  YAYY!!!  It's $3,000 a year up to four years (total of $12,000!) and 350 people were selected, BUT, out of those 350, 20 people get the Presidential Scholarship which is an extra $10,000 a year up to four years (total of $52,000 with them combined!!!) and those people will find out in March!  I'm happy to get just the first scholarship but the second one would make my life :) 
So the POD today is me praising the wondrous letter I got today!  I also like the nice light that is shining down on it, making it glow :)  Overall, today was great :)
