Time Out

Today I was still trying to get used to being on daylight-savings-time. I have yet to get used to it. I have been all out of whack the past few days. It is just so wrong, my body clock is off. And I know some people say you don't lose sleep, but that is not true. At 10:00pm now, it feels like 9:00pm. I am usually not tired at 9:00pm, and I still fall asleep the same 'time' it is just an hour later according to the clocks. I still haven't given in, I will not reset my alarm clock. Instead, I have set my alarm for an hour earlier.

I've been waiting the past couple days to hear back from a scholarship I entered. On their website, they said they would contact the finalists by March 10th which is today. I have been checking my email and their website exponentially the closer the deadline has gotten. I kept checking my email today, wishing for a response from them.

I went to their website to see if I could figure out what timezone they were in. I could then maybe expect when the cutoff time would be for receiving a email from them. When I went to their website, it said finalists had been notified. I was disappointed as I hadn't gotten an email from them.

I clicked on a link so I could see who had won. I opened up a 100 page file, and slowly scrolled down to the results for Washington. I took as long as I could to do so, because I didn't want to face the inevitable of my name not being on the list. I finally got to Washington. I slowly approached the Ls. Khalif, Kukhotskyaya, Laesser, Lamontagne, Lefurgy, Leiseth, Lim it wasn't looking good. Then, there it was. To be more precise, there I was. I was shocked and happy at the same. I also was in pain because my mom was so excited she was slapping my back. I think she was more excited than I was. Hopefully, this is the first of many. Or at least the first of a few.
