Thank yous!!!

I've got some thank yous to give out (and a happy update on yesterday's uncharacteristically downbeat entry.)

First of all, thanks to Google for our random image of the week....It's not funny like these sometimes are, but it got me thinking...what if our world really was donut shaped? How incredibly strange would that be?

Secondly, major thanks to Kendall for asking me his 10 Questions and posting them today!

Also, thanks for everyone's supportiveness concerning yesterday's dilemma.

Fortunately, brain storming and talking to people -- most of whom I hadn't planned to talk to -- really helped me regain my usual perky optomism. I have a plan of action now, and have defiantly decided: I will finish school here. Without taking out student loans.

I was reminded of someone I met way back in eigth grade. He was just graduating high school at the time and had received a scholarship for being a left-handed red-head. That got me thinking...I'm unique in lots of ways. I'm ambidextrous, that's a 2% of the population I fit into. I can almost guarantee there's a scholarship for that. And I bet I could get some kind of LGBT scholarship. And, undoubtedly, the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America has some kind of scholarship, or more than one.
Abercrombie does indeed sponsor some scholarships, as I found out through Googling it because neither of our managers were there today, but in doing so I discovered that some of the companies my grandfather bought me stock in also sponsor scholarships.
And as Johnna pointed out, if you spend time in Rhode Island malls (which I do, frequently :-P) it's hard to avoid discovering some scholarships there.

I'm going to scholarship my way through tuition, live off-campus and work my way through books and rent.
That's the plan right now anyways. I'm going to be fine. :)
