I am so loser.

God, what a terrible two weeks.

You see, I thought I'd try my luck at applying for a scholarship. Low chance of getting it, what with my grades, but hell. Figured that a 1% chance that I would get by applying beats a 100% chance of not getting it if I didn't apply. So I applied.

From the start, I faced 2 snags. One, an essay. It took me 4 attempts and repeated editing by my vastly more intelletually endowed army buddy to reach a point where I am of some confidence that the essay isn't mundane. That turned out to be the lesser of my headaches.

The second one started out innocuous. Just list out your achievements, commendations and/or awards. So fair enough, I took out that big bulging green folder that was the culmulative result was my entire school life thus far, and came up with..... 4 certificates.

Yep, that's all folks. 4.

4 four Four fouR FOUR.

19 years of mugging and just about not having a life, and all I managed to achieved in my life is 4 worthy certs? I... am stunned speechless.

To be fair (to myself), I had a lot more. Mostly certificates of participation. Can't say I didn't try.
Never mind. I don't mind being an under-achiever. That just means I'm full of potential!

Who am I kidding. Oh well. Hope at the very least I can score an interview. If not.... chalk it up to life 1 million, me zero. As the army says, suck thumb and carry on living.
