Funny how I can so quickly go from feeling really good about my photographic process to feeling stupidly inadequate for not upping the contrast on my prints. Huh, oh well. I'm exhausted from this week beyond belief and next week promises only slight relief. Right now I'm prepping for Justin's party tomorrow, cleaning the house and getting together snacks. I still can't believe that I haven't finished my sendmeabroad website. I intended it to be done a month ago but it really is last on my list of priorities.

But hey, I'm beginning to think that I finally MUST have accomplished something with my academic career because the school now seems more than willing to throw money at me. I got an unexpected $1,800 scholarship today (General University) without any idea that I'd even applied for it. And I'll find out in the next week whether I'll walk away with a $7,000 Freeman scholarship for study abroad. I'm still waiting on the Joy Poust scholarship ($3,400), another $500 mini scholarship, the AIEJ scholarship (airfare, $250 allowance and $800 monthly stipend), the Bridging Scholarship ($4,000) and whatever mysterious award the Honors College nominated me for. Most any of those plus my $4,000 Dean's, $900 journalism, $500 Opportunites Abroad and $1,800 general-u scholarships should suit me quite nicely. Am I finally worth something?

Haha. I was just looking through my odd uniques for today on sitemeter and I realized what a stalker I must look like on other people's sitemeters. Cos, really, I spend 9 hours a day in front of my computer and the best thing I can usually think to do is to troll the links on my sidebar to see if anyone's updated. Which, usually, they haven't because I'm one of the maybe three people I know who doesn't say something purely on a weekly bases. So anyway, yeah. I'm not a stalker... it's just a habit for me to do this, oh, three times a day. So I'm bored and probably a LOSER. So what? Be flattered or something. Or maybe be scared. It might be me standing outside your window at 3AM making googly faces.
