framlingemI am determined to pull myself out of my funk. I need to be able to smile at work tomorrow. So, I'm going to list good things that have happened recently, and totally ignore the bad ones.
I am finished with math forever. I've completed all college-level courses except Cal 3, which I don't need.
I've figured out what I want to do.
The college agreed to partially fund my trip to New Hampshire next June to study humpback whales, and has agreed to loan me the $7000 camera. They've done the same thing for my 'boreal forest ecology in winter' project in February.
Santa Claus came to Sparks.
A mentally disabled kid I babysit's speech has improved amazingly, as has his coordination. He came running to me last night, shouting 'Em-ly! Em-ly!' and told me all about school. I couldn't get him to shut up!
I did an entire course (normally taught over a week) in three hours, and got an 89%.
I took a MENSA test. It went well.
Someone gave me 'Tuck Everlasting' for Christmas. I've been looking for it for ages.
I found out Spider's writing another Callahan book.
I saw the Two Towers and was blown away.
I finalised travel plans for England.
I came closer to finalising travel plans for the Rat convention in Oshawa.
I mailed a Christmas present to my favorite band. I do hope they haven't read it yet.
I found a present for Katherine and Victoria, which I'm not going to mention in here in case Mariko gives them this addy. Unlikely.
I figured out what's happening next in Shanty, even if only three people are reading it.
My pants fit. Length-wise. At last. And I've gotten the hemming down to an hour per leg.
My mother is speaking to me again.
Christmas is coming. Even if it did rain and melt all the snow today.
Whew.

not telling :)
Date: 2002-12-21 02:45 pm (UTC)HOWEVER! Once it's done, it's done, and I'll be in New Hampshire with a car by myself, and I haven't been to Boston since I was ten. There must be stuff there that a ten-year-old wouldn't have liked very much, but that a nineteen-year-old would. (Not bars, unfortunately... your American drinking age is disgustingly high!)
