I'm a finalist!!!

Okay, so around 2:30'ish I was talking to Jason as he was driving to work when I get a call on the other line. Unfotunately, I didn't get to it in time and it wasn't a number I recognized. I called it back and it ended up being Jefferson College, but the lady that answered had no idea who would have called me or why.

I decided to take a nap before I had to go to work and I set my alarm for 3:30. I'm lying there and I hear the phone go off and I'm thinking, "Aw man...is it that time already???" Well, it was Jeffco again, telling me that one of my poems made me a FINALIST for the poetry competition. Is that not cool, or what? I posted both on here...they were "Home" and "But I Aint Momma", and the latter is the one they're considering. There is a Poetry Slam on Friday at noon and I'm trying to see if I'm able to go or not. I'm supposed to work, but I have Kelly (Jason's mom) who is very sweet and said she could work for a little bit of my shift for me, if I need her to. Since I'm a finalist, and I can also get extra credit for going...I may just have to go for a little while.

At this point, I don't care if I win...I consider this "winning enough." I'm so excited. I'm very proud that "But I Aint Momma" was the one that they chose to consider. I'll let you all know what happens when I find out on Friday.
