good news!

This week has been pretty rough.  I had very little time this weekend to prepare for the coming week's exams.  On Saturday, our school hosted "Give Kids a Smile" in which we provided over $96,000 in free dental services to over 260 children.  It was a fun, rewarding (but exhausting) day.  Anyway, the consequence for the busy weekend was reduced study time for 2 tough exams and a competency this week.  I've been overwhelmed and very stressed to say the least.

Then came a bit of good news.  I won a $2,500 scholarship!  Back at the beginning of the quarter, I took some time to write an essay detailing my efforts to save money and be financially savvy while in school.  It paid off!  I won the MWU Financial Literacy Scholarship.  Suddenly, it seems like my crappy week has taken a turn for the better!
