So, since graduation is soon, I'm starting to get some money for it from relatives. Here I am, figuring I'd get twenty dollars here, twenty dollars there for people that I really don't know but are doing this because they liked to pinch my cheeks and call me cute when I was little. My Grandma and Grandpa will be the only ones to give me any real money since they're loaded and do this for every grandchild. Today though, when I got home, I found a card sitting on my kitchen talbe adressed to me, from an Uncle who I've seen maybe a total of five times in my life. Here I am thinking, as I open the card, how nice of him to think of me like that. So I open the card and dutifully read a nice little bible passage he sent me before looking at the check. When I do, my eyes nearly pop out of my head.

He sent me seven hundred dollars!!!!

Seven hundred! where does the man get that much money to give to people????? I mean, it took me four months at my pizza diner to save up that much money. This is insane! On the other hand though, this gives me enough to put down a down payment for my apartment, or for me to buy a little run around car. *SQUEE* I was so worried about my finacial situation, thinking I'd only make about three hundred dollars during graduation, but now... *sigh* That man is a gift from God at the moment. I needed this money for a few things before September hit and now I have it. I swear to myself not to touch it. From him and from my savings alone, I now have 1,500 dollars. SCORE!!!!

Life is looking up. I guess good things do come to those who wait. :)
