I got a 93 on my Differential Equations exam. Since the high score was a 97 and the mean was around 68, I'm feeling great.

Performed the first real assignment in acting class: a monologue. I had selected a villainous monologue from Goldeneye. It went exceptional.

An opinion letter I sent to the Bozeman Chronicle was published today, and my old Texts and Critics seminar teacher actually sent me an email praising it. That also felt good.

Despite the fact that I woke up at 4am for my desk shift, today has been awesome. The desk shift gave me time to finish up my fifth draft of my Writers of the Future submission. I managed to shave another 1k off of a 4k submission, putting it to 3100 words. That's shorter than draft one, which was so radically different. I am quite happy, but then again I probably screwed it up somewhere in a major way.

Either way, got lots accomplished.

Oh! I didn't have physics lab either. That was another highlight.

Just hearing about your day lifted my spirits a bit. Weird but true.

And then, just to cap it off, I went and tore your story apart. ;D ;)

Lucky! We aren't allowed non-stage monologues in my college's acting classes. Kinda weird when you consider the fact that the school offers hybrid film/drama degrees.

Umm... Getting chummy with some peeps in my English class after only a month. Not bad for a shy dude. Also, one of the girls in class shares a name with my cousin and looks like her too. That's kinda cool, I guess.

No, that was a great critique. You picked out things that five other people didn't, so that's perfect.

And after meeting with this many people and my old T&C teacher, I know exactly what little things I can do to enhance it.

It probably has less to do with your college being weird and more to do with my acting teacher being amazing. The prof really makes all the difference.

I just semi-hacked one of my friend's facebook accounts and changed a whole slew of information on her profile. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while, but I'd forgotten her password. She gave me all of her information a couple months ago, so I could log into her account to check something out. And she never changed anything, so I can still get in there. Hence it's kind of her own fault she just got hacked.

Anyway, she's going to know it was me the second she sees the changes, and some of them are very noticeable. Like the fact that she is now 'widowed' instead of 'single'....But oh well. Hacking accounts is fun, even if the hacking isn't necessarily hacking.

Ah. I am now content...

I turned into content a while back. It's good times, but I miss my physical form on the weekends.

All of my family in American Samoa survived the (first) quake/tsunami. I'm going to have to assume that no news is good news on the second quake.

I'm going home tomorrow! And I'll be eating gooey, delicious cinnamon rolls on Sunday morning. It's a tradition my family has for General Conference. A delicious tradition that I love.  :)

Got a 92% on the midterm that I was worried about. Which is awesome, but would be more awesome if I hadn't lost the remaining 8% to bone-headed mistakes. ::)

Still, it was nice. Especially since I didn't get in all the studying I wanted to, what with being sick all weekend ::)

My Grandmother had a sign that read as follows; Happiness is being married to your best-friend.

Being married to someone you don't like sounds like hell to me.....
