    Sent off another essay to the optimist’s club, and I’m working on two more.

    Money... urgh.  — 8 months ago

    I did all my caculations and even with all my savings, what I can expect to earn during summers, what the parents will pay, etc… to go to Laurier without going into debt I had to win 3k in scholarships.

    I won 4k.

    This is great – wonderfull, actually, wonderfull almost beyond belief – but now it’s put all this pesky hope into me. If I won 4k, could I win more?

    Because, you see, the University of Waterloo will probably give me about 1k in scholarships. Laurier would give me 5k. If I needed 3k to go debt-free to Laurier, I need 7k to go debt-free to Waterloo.

    With that in mind, somehow I need to scrounge up another 3k before I can reasonably expect to go to Waterloo. Probably closer to 4k, actually – I think Waterloo’s tuition is higher – but I’m setting 3k as my goal. I’ve got a binder full of essay contests… I really think I can do this, if I make myself stick with it.
