To say that the 4th of July threw me off track is a complete understatement. Watching "Julie & Julia" has reminded me of the importance of my blog, no matter who is (or is not) reading it. After all, the internet immortalizes the least of us, and my goal is to leave in my wake links to the plethora resources that have enabled me to succeed in school.
Did I ever mention that I got into grad school? I'm still blown away, so forgive me if I have. Besides being off school and using it as time to research new and valuable resources and scholarships, I have been full-time single parent, whittling away at the month-plus days left of the summer. I just do my best to entertain. :-)
Not only that, but also the getting readiness of the upcoming quarter has been under way. I simply could not find the best desk for me after countless fruitless hours searching for one on the internet. Thus, my significant other has done his best to make my ideas for my very own custom-made desk come to fruition. God bless his creative little soul.
Anyways, my goal of "One scholarship each day for Monday through Friday of each week" has failed miserably. But the scholarships I have researched thus far are posted on here. And, when I get back on track, you will be the first to know. Have a great day!

It's a Scholarship Search Saturday!
Since I didn't get time enough away from my housesitting, parenting and significant-othering duties to actually post yesterday, I'm making up for it today.
I decided to take my housesitting duties and turn it into a "staycation" of sorts (about.com has great ideas on how to do this yourself). I'm simply pretending that I'm far enoug away from home to warrant down-time and the weekend helps me do this as well. When the house phone rings, I don't become attached to answering it because it's not even my phone! Nifty.
Anyways, the point of this post is to give you another scholarship lead. This one is for those dedicated to volunteerism in their communities. Who has time for this? You'd be surprised at how your selfless efforts boost the morale of more people than the act was originally aimed at.
Try: http://www.altrusa.com and check for scholarships at the national level, or use their chapter "search" tool to find a local chapter in your area.
Now to go dip my feet in the pool! Have a Happy 4th of July!
