! Spare change, anyone?

Salvete! (I'm only using Latin in Caesar's honor. Don't worry, I'll stop soon.)

So, I need a favor.
I have, as of tomorrow, 15 days to accomplish something I've wanted since the beginning of the year... and I don't think I can do it.
I've been convinced to give this whole optimism thing a whirl, though, so we'll try it. I'm just going to need some good vibes sent directly to NH and maybe some of the amazing combined willpower that was the NLC.
Ladies and gents: as of the end of last year, I was class valedictorian. As of the middle of last week, I am salutatorian. I am off by a fraction of a GPA point, and I really really want to do something about it.
Like I said, I'm not sure I have it in me to pick my grades up that much in two weeks. I might as well go down fighting, right?
[Any spare good vibes that could be spared for my unrelated speech contest on Wednesday (link to a copy) would also be very welcome.]

I want to be the one up on the podium at graduation.

Moritura te saluto.

p.s.  @J - You know I appreciate your stoic loyalty to the cause. However, I host all my blogs on here and they're the only place where I know how to add multiple authors. xD Somehow, I see your relationship with Google paralleling your relationship with Fred... so I think things will get better as you go.
