I wasn’t chosen to go on the ESA SEEDS field trip to Alaska, which was disappointing because it would have been so much fun.  More disappointing, however, was not getting the Goldwater.  That would have allowed me to go to school full time and cut back on how many hours a week I’m working.  I’ve applied for a few grand in scholarships from my school and department.  I should find out about those soon, so wish me luck!
