Ernest F. Hollings Scholarship

I had my wisdom teeth extracted - all three of them. I ended up with dry sockets which were immensely painful. My dentist prescribed Percocet which put me in a fantastic stupor. While in the midst of mist, I decided to open the overstuffed, large envelope that arrived in the mail for me. The return address read, Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE). I pulled the papers out of the package and began reading. The haze in my mind made me unsure of what the words said. It was something like this: Dear Tiffanie, We are pleased to award you with the Ernest F. Hollings Scholarship. You are one of 100 awardees out of 1700 applicants...

I won! I won! I won!
