The Toes Knows

 

Today I am wearing a brand new pair of socks from my Stennie-Cares package. They're quite nice. In fact, they feel so natural I haven't thought once about my socks all day, until now. It's like they've alway been a part of me. My sole-mates. Ah, puns.

Well, last week I was invited to join Phi Theta Kappa, the "International Honor Society of the Two Year College" because of my good grades. Oh, that's nice, I thought. I'm flattered. Silly, but nice. And I was prepared to throw the application out. Andy changed my mind for me. "Why aren't you doing it?" he wanted to know. I didn't have much of an anwer. "Because I figured it was kind of hokey." But it would look good on my transcript, and maybe help me get into Dental Hygiene school, and I would get to put in on my diploma, and I would get a neat gold pin. AND I would become elligble for tons of scholarship money. Hmmm, maybe I should do it. The only requirements are a $50 one-time fee and that I keep my grade point average up. I was plannning on continuing to get A's anyway. So I asked my parents, both college professors, what they thought and they both said "DO IT!" So today I went down and paid $50 and turned in my application.

They're holding my "Induction Ceremony" on Friday. Still think it's kind of embarrassing, but it's nice they want to make a big deal out of it too. My friend Amy told me "It's not silly at all. You worked hard for your grades, you deserve it!"

Jeez, I just hope I'm not the only dork there on Friday!

And with that, it's five o'clock. I am SO outey!
