A few months ago, I recieved a scholarship for Hillsdale. I called everyone I knew to tell them i got a full scholarship. Then I read the fine print and realized I hadn't, not at all. So that fall was painful.
But yesterday, after I posted, I went through my folder of NU stuff, and I found a financial aid offer. Since all my teachers told me NU doesn't give money, I was highly skeptical. Not wanting to jump to conclusions, I read it over and over and over and over. Then I started running around my house, jumping on furniture, and screaming like a little girl. I won't tell you how much it is, but it's substantial...quite substantial...like 96% substantial.
So today's been a great day. I ruled out Northwestern months ago because of the money and unlikelihood of getting in. But here it is, the things I so wanted in a college. Cheap, prestigious, close to home (that one's very important...i need my family). So, I'm pretty sure the Michigan schools are out, wildcats are in.
My only reservation is its size. I really wanted a small school. And a Big 10 experience is quite different from a small school. But, the positives are awfully positive.
Anyway, my day was spent today doing a boatload of homework, watching the Cubs game, playing basketball with my sister (no, i didn't lose), and watching the finale of Dream Job on ESPN...my guy from Glen Ellyn won...he was certainly the best.
Random Factoid: My Gateway monitor has the letters OSD on it, and i don't know what that means
