People who don't use their heads don't need them

It's Sunday and while Dollythe is in Estonia for the weekend I'm sitting here trying to put together a somewhat interesting application for scholarships. A financial aid for my exchange year is quite essential, after all. But how on earth do you get people to give you money without sounding that you're too sorry for yourself? Ugh. I kind of really want the money.

I need a hobby. Suggestions are appreciated.
