a mix of emotions... all running through my head and i'm not sure how to sort through all of them. so many things to think about and not enough time.
only 4 weeks of class left. :] actually pretty happy about it. although i have a lot of things to do. including papers, a zillion projects and presentations. presentation and paper for art history on top of the final. project and presentation luckily with mandi for mondays class. and i have one more micro teaching tomorrow. lots of little assignments and my portfolio for tuesdays class. lesson plans and presentation for thursdays class. a few assignments and a video project and presentation for friday's class. gonna be busy.
lu'au this year was fun. my parents came up. my sister was supposed to as well but she had softball, which didn't actually happen since the team didn't show up, but there is still next year. it was a lot of fun.
we got the house! we signed the lease last friday. i am really excited. it should be a lot of fun. :] now we just need to figure out what furniture we need from my parent's storage unit and then we will be good to go. weird we had to pay our june's (1st months rent) already and its only april. oh well i guess. i won't have to worry about it later i guess.
one thing i am really worried about is my financial stability for next year regarding paying for school. i qualified for the clemens scholarship, which is a very nice scholarship from home that pays for college equal to the books and tuition of oregon state. well over the years the clemens foundation has changed its qualifications for students to receive the scholarship. that is what they have done again just recently. apparently now you have to be a second-generation student and they will only give you the scholarship if you go to a certain school; schools that are conservative private universities that make the list; one's that aren't community colleges, state schools, or liberal private universities.
"To receive Clemens grants, students must now be a second-generation resident of one of these communities, and attend a conservative private college from an approved list or a trade, vocational or medical school. Students attending public colleges or universities are no longer eligible for the grants, with the exception of some students who enroll in trade or vocational courses."
this makes me so angry. i mean i understand that the foundation can do what they want with their money and its their decision to change it and really the community has no say in anything, but honestly making all of these changes is ridiculous. i, personally, have lived in philomath since i was 6 weeks old and have been raised in a timber family with my great grandparents, my grandparents and my father all working within the industry. i was lucky to receive the scholarship because of my families background, but just because my parents didn't graduate from philomath and i chose to go to a liberal arts private university, not being liberal myself, i no longer am eligible. somehow i don't find that right. ugh.
i really don't wanna work on homework. no motivation = bad.
i need to go grocery shopping for a few things, but that requires money that i don't have at the moment... crap. but i will have to go anyways.... winco it is.
so much to do. ugh. meh. blargh.
