Scholarship surprise

Ok everyone. So yesterday morning I got a message from the University in my inbox telling me to go to my finacial center online because I had a message there waiting for me. So, expecting a demand for more money I obeyed and proceeded to my finacial center online. I found that there was a charge for me to pay for my rented computer but I also found that I did indeed have a message from the BYU Scholarship program. Expecting yet another rejection, I proceeded to the message. To my everlasting surprise, these words were staring me in the face,"Mary,Congratulations! You have been awarded a scholarship in the amount of full LDS tuition for Spring and Summer Terms." Shocked and amazed, I wanted to brush it off as an april fool's joke. But that day was April 2nd and that would just be cruel. However, being almost late for class, I had to close the message and start my journey to my class. I was deep in thought for the entire class period and I was unsure of what to do about this seemingly unbelievable event. Later, when it all finally sunk in, I started to understand the significance of this offer and that it was a wonderful opportunity. So, after much thought and prayer, I have decided to stay here in Provo to take classes in the Spring and Summer. I am sorry to say that if I have made plans with you for this summer in California, they will most likely be cancelled. This saddens me deeply but I know that this is an opportunity that could possibly never happen again and I need to take advantage of it. Thank you all for your love and support. I hope that we can make plans again for another summer when I return home to California.
I love you all and I miss you!
Love, Mary

My Health Class

Ok everyone. I'm taking a health class that is online right now and it has been really interesting. There is alot of information about my health that has been really useful and I think it might be useful for you too. so, I dont know how to attach the lessons to a post but I can email them to you. The only problem would be that the class ends at the end of the semester and I have them saved to my rented computer that i will have to give back at the end of the semester. I think it would be really useful to everyone so if you are interested, just let me know and I will email you the lessons. They are kind of long but you can skip to the important parts. ok love you all!
