finally getting my internets back after not having it for the last few days put me in a great mood.


also, uhm...

i'll put it like this:

2 bags of fireworks: $70

lighters: $5

Lighting 4 firecrackers at the same time and possibly waking everyone in my neighbourhood up: priceless.



also beating sonic 3 and knuckles as sonic and getting all the super emeralds is a good thing too. so yeah, my day's been great.

Things that made my day today: Sleeping in until noon and then waking up to check my email to find that I got the internship I wanted. :3

Sweet! :yeah: I didn't get any of the internships I applied for. :P

Woot, woot! :w00t: Congratulations!

What made my day: Pretty much single-handedly fixing the soda fountain at SubWay, with a little over-the-phone help from the Coca-Cola tech guys in Anchorage. The soda machine had been acting up for about a week now-- the flavors we still have (running out of a LOT of stuff) would run clear, despite being fully connected and noting blocked, and the (empty) Sprite thing would blow CO2 out the gas exhaust valve nonstop for ten minutes at a time.

I finally got sick of the crap the stupid machine was giving out like candy at a parade, so I called the Coca-Cola people and explained the situation. Everyone there was very friendly and fun to talk to, and a few transfers later I was getting step-by-step instructions from a tech support guy. Step-by-step instructions that so totally worked. xD When I hung up, one of my coworkers said I was the "Queen of SubWay."

Yes, yes, I am. So where's my crown? :frankiesmile:

This morning I got a belated birthday card from my Dad, which also contained a little scrapbook filled with various factoids about, news stories and popular culture from the year I was born.

I thought that was pretty cool.

That sounds awesome, t. I'd love to have a scrapbook on 1985 (the year I was born).

Me, I just discovered that I won £50.00 (that's roughly the equivilent of 100 US dollars) from my premium bonds. Yay, I'm happy! I think I might treat myself to the There Will Be Blood DVD which just came out. ;D

last night i packed a lunch consisting of two oranges, some sunflower seeds, and several strips of london broil.

eating that london broil today made my day :)

Today's trip to the post office made my day.

For one thing, I got my Advanced Placement (AP) test scores back. The whole premise of the AP Program (run by the same people who do the SAT tests) is to give high school kids a college level class or sumpm like that. For me, one of my two classes-- I took Biology and Literature and Composition, and I refer to the latter for this example-- was pure and utter torture. Fast forward now, to today. You know how in the movies, when someone gets a piece of potentially life-changing mail, they feel like they'd been socked in the gut?

That was me.

When I got home, that was the first thing I opened. My scores were:
Biology: 3
Literature and Composition: 3

A three is "qualified" = passing. Sooooo... :w00t:!!!

Also in this week's PO Box was the Mac Daddy coloring / activity book. More woot woot! I know what I'm doing later... :D

I know how that feels. I've been rejected a lot more than I have been accepted. Don't give up!

What made my day today: Being able to play Mario Galaxy for a while. :)

Um, little late for that. College was a good 10 years ago. :P Thanks anyways, lol.
