Yesterday it happened to me.  A few months ago I had submitted an essay for a scholarship award, which would pretty much pay for my entire year of schooling (and then some in which I could put toward the youth center).  I really wanted to win.

My heart is melancholy today, thinking of all the millions and millions of candy corns that will be eaten, BUT NOT BY ME!!! (sniff. sniff.) Many people favor the candy bars: Three Musketeers, Snickers, Butterfingers…. but I love the candy corn (and pumpkins).
