I did a good deed yesterday. I went to mervyns looking for some flip flops. As I got out of my car, this lady comes up and asks if I have jumper cables and if I did if I could give her a jump. I started to say no (even though I knew I had jumper cables) but then I thought I'd want help if I was in the same situation, so I said yes. So I drive around in front of her car and I have no clue which cable is positive and which is negative...so the lady had her friend call someone and ask. we got everything hooked up and what not. for some reason though the lady's car didn't start. and it sure sounded like it was her battery that was dead. unless one of us had the cables hooked up wrong or something...not necessarily the positive and negative, but like if we had them connected good. *shrug* even though i really didn't help, i did feel good for trying. : )

today i got a letter in the mail saying that i was a recipient of a $500 scholarship. this one is from the organization that i had the interview with a few weeks ago, so i guess they did like me after all. ; ) and then i decided to go to fullerton online and find out about my financial aid, and i had my award summary done. assuming i accept the offers for loans, i will get $9981 in financial aid. i'm so happy about that, cause i honestly thought it would be less. so with the scholaship, i have a total of $10,481. *now* all i need is $850 : \
