I’m now a finalist for a scholarship I applied to last month! I got the email yesterday and am super happy about it! Winning it means I get a full-ride to any college I ranked from that official scholarship list, which includes some high profile American universities that have been messaging me for months! However, I do need to submit a lot of materials to the colleges I listed before the first of next month, so I need to get on to everything after I get off spring break, but for now, I feel content; I just have to do a lot of research!

I'm really proud of myself, I had a four day road trip to Chicago and I managed not to burn out or have a mental break down. Traveling is difficult and overwhelming for me, but I was able to do this because I have an amazing partner who supports me and is willing to take breaks for us to recharge. She's good at the things I suck at, like city driving and parallel parking, and I'm good at the things she's not so good at, like long-distance driving and planning an itinerary. We make a good team that way.

I want to add a goal of reading 100 nonacademic books this year.
So far I'm at 97, so I think I'll make it. But when school gets into full swing, my time/motivation to read for fun decreases dramatically. I only read one non-school book in October lol

UPDATE: I submitted my applications last night! Hoping and praying and begging on my knees I get my number one option even though I didn't submit my resume for them yet- oopsies! I kind of half-heartedly did the essays for my lesser options though. But a full ride to my #1 would be incredible since tuition is like, nearly $80,000 dollars now? (Minus financial aid.) For those curious, I'm talking about Rice University

Good luck! Rice University is an excellent school.

Oof, Rice is super competitive and expensive! I hope you make it, but also if you don't then you'll still have lots of great options.

With the weather getting colder and cloudier, I’ve finally been able to drive myself again without getting heat sick or photo-allergic hives. I got to fill up my own car today for the first time since March! It’s so nice to be outside again.

Last night was so nice; I actually felt at peace with myself, most relaxed I've felt in a good while. I did all that I could schoolwork wise and felt pretty satisfied with it! I also watched a documentary about cats saving their owners and taking care of elderly people and it made me SOB. Anyways since I'm in a pleasant mood thought I'd make some goals for myself: Read all of Wicked before the end of the month (about a quarter of the way through right now)
Work on my new art project at least once a day this month
Submit at least two more college applications plus a couple of scholarships

i got my associates degree. it cost me 20k and two years at a private school across the country, but i came home and got it. now im transferring to my dream university in the spring. it's weird to say it because i tend to be down on myself, but i guess this is an achievement.
for the first time in a while im happy and optimistic about the future. im signing a sublease. im living independently with roomies in a house. im going to a big university. i think after years and years im finally going to be me.
it kind of makes me want to cry but im also slightly inebriated. i think things are getting better. and i think thats an achievement.

I did it! I read 100 non-academic, non-Warriors books this year. Definitely the most I've read in a year since I was a kid, and probably the most I'll read in a year for a long time.

I took the SAT some months ago and scores came back and guess what y'all! I got a 1510!!! :DDDD My GPA is in the trenches right now so it probably won't matter too much but I'm still very proud of myself

so!!!! my company had a huge customer of ours doing all production for events with convention centers (this one is giant, in the states biggest city) call them to ask for me specifically to come work for them during the first three days of the show for set up, for $10 more than my current pay per hour..as well as train all of their employees on what we'll be doing those three days. I'm so excited and also proud of myself, but I'm nervous as heck to train in front of so many people as well!!
