I think I now have the motivation I need

So it seems high school is flying by, being a senior and all next year.  To be honest, I have rather mixed emotions about being a senior. I guess, though, they're not as mixed as they once were, at least now I sort of know what college I want to go to, and have a back-up just in case I don't get in. Nevertheless, it's strange, seeing the seniors graduate, it's like a preview for next year I guess, which is somewhat surreal to me.

The motivation I meant to talk about was motivation for me to complete my short stories.  As of now, my work ethic is rather poor, and all I have to show for it is a page, and some ideas that are written down in my notebook in the form of little paragraphs in between drawings of random things...like toasters...I like to draw toasters sometimes.

So what is this motivation? Well, to save myself some time, it's this: http://www.knox.edu/writersscholarships.xml.  After spending about two months looking around the internet about colleges, I decided I really liked Knox College.  I wasn't sure If I was going to be able to get in though.  My main concern was my SAT, because I hadn't done so hot on my ACT a few months earlier, and at the time I decided I liked Knox I hadn't received my scores for my SATs yet, but alas, I got my scores three days ago, and I did exponentially better than my ACT, and good enough for Knox. 

My hope is that I can get all the paragraphs of ideas to turn into short stories over the summer.  And now, I've got more motivation.  If anyone actually reads this and is interested in my other college choice, it's Hope College in Michigan. It's a walk away from the shore of Lake Michigan, and like Knox, is in a beautiful town.  Really, they're both good schools, I simply prefer Knox because of its respected and well-known creative writing program.
