Everyone has their weaknesses...

Although I love winter weather, I am really not liking this (hopefully) last cold front that has swept Oklahoma. This always tends to happen when I do things like stimulate the economy. I was really looking forward to wearing my cute new spring clothes, but I am being forced to practice my patience. Normally overcast days are some of my happiest days, but not today.

This is mainly because I am being reminded of one of my biggest weaknesses: I beat myself up. No, I don't literally punch myself in the face, though I kind of feel like I should. But I like my face, so I won't. Today are the interviews for my major's scholarships. I am not really sure when the applications for it were- but I am pretty sure that they were part of my college's scholarship application. We had pretty much the last half of Fall semester to apply for them- due a week or two after finals. So, of course I was going to wait till then to fill it out. I wasn't even trying to procrastinate. I just figured I would have a better, clearer mind to fill out the application and make myself sound awesome.

During break, I work at the movie theater at home I have worked at for almost 5 years (yikes). At work one day, I made a to-do list: Laundry, Buy soap, Scholarship Application. The next day I got to work. I bought soap, and started my laundry. I was done, and I was happy. Oh, but wait-- isn't that missing something? Yep. I realized two days later when I found my list. The application was due midnight the night before. It is all online, and the application had closed. I was upset, but oh well- I will have other opportunities.

Unfortunately, I am pretty sure that I was wrong, and that was my opportunity. For the past few days, I keep hearing just how much the MIS dept is able to give away this year (a ton). Everyone in class has their suits on and are coming in late/leaving early, while I am sitting here in my t-shirt and just enough make up on to look like I am not a zombie. I say this humbly, but I am a shoe-in for these scholarships. They are pretty much the one non-need based scholarship I could ever apply for. Entirely merit. And here I am- a girl with a ton of merits.

A ton of merits and a bad case of Attention Deficit Disorder.
