Thanks. I was expecting a response like, "We regret to inform you that you did not pass the examination." Glad I didn't see that. The weekly night classes (2.5 hours each) I took from February until mid-April that helped me prepare weren't for naught.

Thank you. Exams that take all day are BRUTAL no matter what the subject matter is. The next step for me is to take the PE exam, but I have to wait at least four years before I can take that.
On a completely unrelated note, coming home from a 12 hour day without dealing with the evening rush hour traffic made my day today. Last edited by L.G.; 07-09-2009 at 07:16 PM. |

I finally found a DVD of the movie "Nicholas and Alexandra." I have it on VHS, but I now have nothing but DVD players. Now I hope I can get "Rasputin" starring Allan Rickman (HBO movie).

I loved that movie! Anything about the Romanovs I found fascinating. Such a normal yet glamorous life they lived, with such a tragic end.
We're getting more little t-storms today. Nothing major, no heavy rainfall, but every now and then I'll hear a distant rumble of thunder. And when yesterday I was panting and drinking iced beverages, today I'm wearing sweats and drinking hot cocoa. Seattle weather is weird, but I like it.

As for something which made my own day, well, yesterday I went hiking around a local coast with my two housemates, and we saw a whole family of one of my favourite animals - that is, weasels (or possibly stoats - they moved a bit fast for me to properly identify them). They just happened to run out in front of us while we were walking, and disappear into some long grasses, and there must have been at least eight of them. I wasn't able to get any pictures, since it was all over so quickly, but I feel really privileged just to have seen it. Definitely something you had to be in exactly the right place at the right time for.

This didn't happen today, but on Friday just gone I booked a hotel room down in Portsmouth for 3 days at the end of the month, it got confirmed on Saturday, so roll on the 27th.

I got a letter from my health insurance provider on Saturday. I didn't bother reading it until a half-hour ago; it's the weekend, so whatever they wanted I couldn't do anything about until Monday. Anyway, I did open it, and I have just now discovered that my monthly premium went down. How rare - and cool - is that?

Some of you may remember this from December of '07, in the "What Ticks You Off" thread-

They're finally paid off! The garnishment is over! I have money again!!!!! Whooo hoooooo!!! And just in time for the Con. I was expecting it to end last month, but I still tallied the end pretty close I guess. But now I know it's official. Oh. My. WORD! You have no idea what a breath of fresh air this is.
