Bloggaday 90 – I'll take "Scholarships" for 1,500, Alex

Bloggaday 90 – I'll take "Scholarships" for 1,500, Alex

So last night, I went to the Crafton Hills Convocation. I wasn’t entirely sure what it was, but my understanding was that it was a scholarship thing. When I got my letter of invitation, I figured maybe it was because I was graduating and my GPA was above the 3.5 (It’s somewhere around 3.9) that is the cutoff for honors or something.
Now, I had submitted for scholarships, but figured I would have known or been contacted if I actually won one. I asked my Psych teacher what exactly it was, and she just sighed and told me to go. Now, she had been on me about submitting for scholarships and didn’t believe me that the website told me I only qualified for one scholarship, so I sent her my confirmation email that included my application.
Now, when I talked to my Psych teacher, it was either a, “There will be food, so just go,” sigh, or it was a “I know something, and you need to go,” type of sigh.
So I’m there for the convocation, and because I had the 3.5+ GPA, I did go up there and get a little rolled up slip of paper. So I figure that’s why I was invited. That figuring was reinforced when my Psych teacher’s scholarship was given (which I figured if I was going to voodoo get one, it would have been that one). Then a little while later, The Psych Club scholarships were given out, and as the bio of the person was given, I start thinking, “Hey, that’s me.” So I go up and get it, and as I was sitting down, the next presenter comes to the stand and tells me to come back up. I had won the next scholarship, which I believe was the one I had qualified for.
That’s right. 3.9 GPA and two scholarships later, and I just ended a paragraph with a participle.
Ooo, I just did it again.
So it was very cool. I was rather shocked. It’s nice, because they give you a little card to send to the donators, so to end this Bloggaday, I’ll paste what I’m going to write. The cards are rather small, so I had to keep it brief. I’m not even sure these are short enough. I’m also going to email my psych teacher something else, but I won’t include that. I’m already over my 500 word limit.


To Dr. Pfahler
This past Friday, I received the Psychology Club scholarship. This has afforded me an opportunity to continue my education. I know there were several excellent candidates for the scholarship, so I would like to offer you my sincerest thanks for your generosity in this matter. Thank you so very much
Sincerely,
