Gilman Scholarship

So, I've officially applied for the Gilman Scholarship and I'm so nervous!  I totally dropped the ball and didn't put on my calendar when the due date for that application was.  So, when I went to check and saw it was three days away I freaked out.  It was the only thing I could think of for those three days up until the night it was due.  I was writing my essays like a mad woman and I payed extra to get my transcript the next day.  Then when I submitted it I was still nervous because I knew if I had payed closer attention I would have had more time and could have written better essays.  But, now it's all out of my hands.  I just have to wait until the end of April to see if I'm awarded the scholarship.  Until then, I'll be waiting for the Global Scholars application to open up.  I made sure to put that on my calendar.  I will be more prepared for this scholarship, that's for sure.  I don't like feeling stressed.
