Congratulations to you both on finishing high school.

So, my happy thing is that I finally finished Act One and Two of my short story (looking more like a novelette now) submission for Writers of the Future. It's the third draft, and I definitely think they are getting better. Act Three will still take a long time, but at least I'm at the climax.

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!

And so is school. Well, except for Prize Day, which is basically a day devoted to being depressed over how badly we did on our finals as we sit and watch other people get prizes. Yeah.

My NanoWriMo proof copy came in today! :D

Kind of goofy to be excited about it, really... but I am.  ::)

Also, apparently, I wrote a long book. ::)

I finally finished a 2 1/2 page essay I've been working on since 1...It really shouldn't have taken me nearly as long as it did. Not just because of the length (and that's double-spaced, too), but also the topic should've made it SIMPLE, but for some reason....I just couldn't focus.

But oh well. Now it's done. And I am happy. Because I'm now listening to music (I couldn't earlier....more distraction, you see. Music does that to me....), and reading Girl Genius for a third time in less than a week (I LOVE this webcomic...more than I can possibly put words to....*sigh*) and writing more of my short story....Happiness abounds. :)

And Silk! That's awesome!

Ari was given a MacBook, and so I spent the evening on Garageband making music.

I'm happy that my nearsister has invited me for a month to Omaha! And she's going to pay for it ;D Her hubby is going out on some month-long training thingiemabob so I'm going to help her with her one year old Bethany and attend one of my favorite churches in Lincoln! Though I'm a bit nervous about visiting Union College again, I think I may be quite mopey when I get back because I'll miss it. Never thought I'd be excited about being in Nebraska again! The flatness is a sort of claustrophobia to me but opposite? I wonder if there is a term for that...but a month is long enough I won't go too crazy missing my mountains ;D

School from 9 AM - 11 PM. Studied for and took 2 finals. Finished a humongous project. Ate Del Taco. Beyond tired. Spring term is no more.

Finished. Happy. :)

It was a miserable day, but I got through it and that makes me happy.

Somebody pointed me to Harry Potter: The Musical and I can't stop laughing.

Oh god.

That sounds.....disturbing... why would you want to see Daniel so and so jump around and sing...probably in falsetto too... ???
