Got down to Olytown around three and started on the bread — a dill rye bread from ingredients I’d pre-measured in Seattle — just pop it into the bread machine for an hour, pull it out, form it into balls, let is rise another hour in a warm oven, and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Since the bread needed tending every so often, I had time to start on the twelve scholarship applications. I was through at least eight of them before I started on the steaks, gnocchi and salad for dinner.

So — yesterday (or the day before) I gave you (the humble audience of my ramblings) the rating scale. Today, I give you the results:

I find it amazing that each of us may have graded on a more or less generous basis, but ALL of our scores on each of the applications were relative to each others. The red line at the top is actually the total number of points each applicate got — and the number along the bottom are the individual applicants assigned a number based on the order of listing on the “Financial Needs” sheet supplied by Evergreen. I still need to get around to writing up the results and getting all the materials back to the school, but I have a couple of weeks to do that.

I would put some of the humorous phrases we found in the applications, but even without identifying the person, it would be bad form to comment on them in public.
