    - I've been film binging and the lack of sleep (2 hours last night, 3 the other) is starting to affect my brain.
    - lent a friend 300 bucks that I couldn't afford to because she was in tears.
    + this friend hugged me for it afterwards
    + my bf phoned me from Michigan...
    - ... but we only got to say " Hi, stranger, bye stranger."
    + got a payday advance
    - but from (of all places) UCL
    - totally forgot to check up on them (because of the lack of sleep)
    + I am perfectly capable of paying them back in full...
    - ... but I hear it's difficult to get a hold of them
    - killer back pains

    In other words: SHOOT. ME. NOW.

    + Guess who got good grades for the first report card of her junior year? ;)
    - I didnt get to speak to my favorite person in the whole world today; bummer.
    + I got a lot of writing done
    - Said writing was inspired by some particularly difficult thought processes and thus I am drained and a bit emotional.
    + I put myself through a particularly difficult workout with my kickboxing instructor
    - I went home and ate waffles, negating all of that hard work! :rolleyes:
    + I got my iPod fixed; turns out, it only needed to be restarted. Who knew? I didnt even realize you could restart it by pressing the menu and selection buttons...
    - Mother's in a mood with me, and I havent a clue why.
    + I dont care.
    - The college mail is flowing in at a steady pace, and it depresses me; I would much prefer to shrink back into a three year old, thankyouverymuch.
    - It's nearing 12AM and I have yet to begin my homework! :eek:

    Unfortunately, I'm going to say this day was a bit more negative than positive, or perhaps that's just my mood at the current. Here's to hoping tomorrow is miles better.
