So yesterday I got my Rotary Foundation Academic-Year Ambassadorial Scholarship Acceptance Form for my 2007-2008 Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship, Sponsored by Conway-Morning Rotary Club.
Whoa, that is a tough sentence to swallow!
It outlines basically what I am and am not supposed to do under my scholarship while on my year-long Educational/Ambassadorial stay in France.
I have to sign it and turn it in!
I feel like I am signing my life away !!!
It's so crazy!
Last February/March I was soul-searching for what I would be doing after college, and I wasn't sure if I was going to apply for this scholarship again after I got runner up in the Spring of 2005.
Sounds silly to me now though to think that I had the option to not apply for it again! What was I thinking back then--to not apply again?!!
So anyway, NOW I have a French host counselor and an Ambassadorial Scholar Handbook! All Shiny and brand-spankin' new. I also have a flipbook entitled: The ABC's of Rotary.
This is all hitting me now!
This is for real!
Next Friday and Saturday I will be in Kansas City giving two speeches (my first two out of a dozen more) and meeting all of the head-honchos of Rotary.
I will muster up some courage this week. I will muster up some courage this week.
Grow Some.
I don't know if you can tell, but I think that it all just hit me.
It is hitting me right now!!!
I got this scholarship on Graduation Day May 2006 on the ground floor of the Ceremony!
That minute-long conversation is just now hitting me!
On Monday I have to sign a piece of paper for my future.
On Monday I have to turn in a Housing form.
On Monday I have to contact Monsieur Chauvin to help me understand some basic French questions all relating to Socialism.
For tomorrow is my day of rest and so should the world.
For today was a hell of a day and tomorrow should be my day of rest.
