Ross just called from the store... he checked the mail for me today.

My course package is in.

And, he said, there was something from school that "looked like a cheque"

"Nah.... why would they send me a cheque? It must be another bill; I haven't paid it yet.... it said it wasn't due until Jan. 18.... well, open it for me, anyway...."

"$950 - it says it is a scholarship"

Don't you TELL people when they get a scholarship? At least tell them what it's FOR?

Apparently not....!

I ain't complaining, though.... honest!
