Greetings everyone! Friends, family, fans, random strangers and/or creepers?
I have wonderful news!

School has been stressful lately (as always) but things are beginning to look up. Half way through April already and once AP exams are over then it will be a glorious coast downhill into the beautiful summer fields!

Recall the District Writing Competition that Flo Valley is holding? Yes? No? Scroll down to refresh your memory if you don't.
For those who do, proceed reading!
Today after arriving a few minutes late to creative writing club, I was informed by lady running everything at Wildwood (Abuisba) that I won!
She asked if I had checked my email yet and I casually said no and asked why and then she told me and congratulated me. It feels like a dream. I thought I was dreaming. I kept waiting to wake up. I keep waiting to wake up. Why all of this writer success so recently and all within this last year of high school? I've entered contests before and have gotten nothing out of it. Well, in any case, I'm not going to question it. The stars are clearly lined up in my favor this year it seems and I couldn't be happier.

My one-act play Romeo and Repunzel won first place in the drama category. I'll receive the prize of $100! I'm thinking about putting half of that towards Haiti as well, so $50 from Wildwood and $50 from Flo Valley - that's $100 total for Haiti! The other $50 is going to my college fund because I certainly need that if I'm going to Tulsa. Every penny counts even if $50 seems insignificant when it comes to college.

Sycamore is supposed to come out tomorrow, however the editing has been a bit more complicated than anticipated so it may be a few more days. I'm fine with waiting, but I just am so excited for the release!

Back to the contest: because I am the first place winner, I'll be entered into the League for Innovation National Student Literary competition (mouth-full, yes? Haha). The first place prize there will be up to $500!
Moreover, the full results for the competition haven't been finalized (i.e. poetry). Therefore, my poems are still candidates in the running and could win as well.
I'm almost scared to go on. I've come this far... and sure I would have been fine if I didn't win anything at the Flo Valley contest because I would still have my bronze medal. But now I've gotten silver and I'm on my way to gold. What if I don't make it? I learned in my psychology class that the silver medal winner is often less happy than the bronze winner because the bronze winner is thrilled to have just won and made it. The silver isn't as happy because they were almost gold but just weren't good enough.
Any one have any comforting advice?
