Good and bad news

Disclaimer: If you haven't already, still read the post below. I don't want this one distracting from my other real news.

I don't think this really deserves a blog entry but I'm going to be telling a few people about it and it will be easier to just go "read my blog eh!"

This morning, I had my alarm on my phone set to wake me up at 6:50. However, I didn't wake up until about 7:25 when the phone rang. It was my family ringing from Hobart, having arrived home safely. I checked my phone and it turns out that somehow, it had changed from AM to PM, and that's why it didn't go off. HOW LUCKY WAS I THAT MY PARENTS RANG!? I then used the next half hour to hurriedly get ready and get out the door, making my tram only just.

The bit I am referring to, however, is that during the call, Mum said she'd opened a letter for me from University of Tasmania, and it said I'd been offered a full scholarship for my course! But the bad news is that I can't definitely defer it. I have to re-apply for scholarships later this year, and hope that I get it AGAIN, this time competing against the current year 12 students. A good bit is that the lady on the phone, according to Mum, said she was very impressed with my results and thinks I have a good chance of getting a scholarship again.

I'm starting a new thing. Ending posts with a random quirky fact.

I have six pairs of shoes now. A lot, considering I am a boy, and that I am overseas.
