Day Seventeen; A Woman Obsessed.

Today started off slowly. Rainy days make it even harder to return to school after a four-day weekend, elongated by my sickly state. I did a small presentation first period. It wasn't too bad, but it was embarrassing because I looked like total crap all day long today. But anyway, the rest of the day went by without much incident. I did get some time to talk to Mrs. McKinney, and that's always wonderful. I miss her class so much; it's impossible to explain.

I think I also figured out what I want to do with my college education. I had considered this idea last year while in Mrs. McKinney's class; she sort of inspired me. So here it is: I had been thinking about double-majoring, but I wasn't sure what to make the second major. Journalism and English Education. Suddenly, this much was obvious. Mrs. McKinney showed me how beautiful it could be to educate high school students on the everlasting wonder of literature. I think that's what I'll stick with. I think it's good to have a stable back-up plan with a major like Journalism. It can be difficult to find a good, stable job with acceptable pay and benefits.

The rest of my day was spent at work and running to Searcy with Raelynn to help her pick out an outfit for an FBLA function tomorrow that I will NOT be attending. She bought me Taco Bell and a candy bar at Wal-Mart. What a sweetie.

When I got home, I really felt like going to sleep, but guess what I did instead? Searched for about four hours for scholarship stuff. I am quickly becoming obsessed. My favorite one I found today was the one you see above. It ties in PERFECTLY with our musical this year. Speaking of which, tryouts are next Wednesday. I am... petrified. But a good friend of mine, Dakota, informed me that I can sing today. Isn't he nice?

Now, I am going to go brainstorm over this scholarship, since I really am obsessed. I will then call my boyfriend, tell him goodnight, and go to sleep. I'm SO tired.
