it's nice to be appreciated.

A day after my last entry, Saturday morning, I opened up my mailbox and there was a letter from Trinity Western University. Now, TWU seems to like multiple forms of contact, repeatedly. I always laugh, because when I got accepted, I was informed on the student portal, emailed, called, and got a letter sent. By the letter, I was thinking, Come on! I was smart enough to get in, shouldn't I know I've been accepted? Just kidding! Also, upon acceptance, I confirmed over the phone that I was recieving a $3000 Academic Scholarship based on my grades. But this letter said...
WOAH! $24,000 - their President's Scholarship, $6000/year, renewable for four years. I could hardly believe it. It was such a gift from God, seen as I had a brutal workload on the weekend. After opening the letter, I sat with my laptop at the kitchen table and wrote a paper for four hours. And then did it again on Sunday. Isn't it true that God knows the motivation we need? The news kept me excited all weekend, I could hardly stop smiling. It's nice to be rewarded and feel appreciated for everything I have poured my energy into over the last few years (well, if we are going to get specific, thirteen years of schooling!)
On January 14th, Jamie Delaine Actions re-launched after a period of beta testing and tweaking, and I'm thrilled to present them! They are on sale until January 21, so make sure you check out the SITE and the FLICKR GROUP.
