Last night I went to "College Night" at a local highschool. It's basically where a bunch of colleges you never heard of,
plus a couple you have, get together and give you propaganda brochures. I just mainly hung out around University of Florida and University of Central Florida
since those where the only two schools that I'm interested in, in Florida. However in talking with them, I found out
that my National Hispanic Merit Finalist status gets me all kinds of cool stuff. UF will give me $6,000 a year, and USF
will give me $7,500; and this is on top of the free tuition I get because of some nifty state scholarships funded by the lottery. UCF didn't know what they'd give
me. But it was sorta funny, cause as soon as I'd say I was a Hispanic Merit Finalist, the admission's people's eyes
would light up and they'd try to act like your new best friend. The end result of all of this is that I can go to
college in Florida totally free, and even possibly make a profit going to school.
Windows ME was released today (or was it yesterday?). Eitherway, MS's latest creation is now avaliable. I personally
would take linux over Windows most anyday, but since Linux isn't for everyone yet, Windows will
have to make due. I'll be getting WinME with my new computer that my dad is fixing to buy, then I'll use that disc to
install it on out current computer (assuming that'll work and there isn't some piracy countermeasure).
