The Happy Post

Do it anyway, then we can have fireworks too. It'd be like an early 5th November celebration.

 

Woho!

Today my Activity Funding came trough. Not just for May to November but for the next two years!

It's a economic support for young people between 20 and 30 with disabilities, diseases etc giving you about a normal student economy, nothing grand but okay living standard by all means. While undergoing rehabilitation efforts like study and work training to get you back into the job market.

Which for me means spending this year on writers course and perhaps the next one as well, as well as perhaps trying to get some extra job as a technical illustrator or writer for technical manuals or something like that. Or something else awesome.

I'm so relived and happy. Damn, I haven't had an economy of my own for more then half a year. And funding for not just this years.... Wow... I got two financially secure years, when people are going to do my best to find my some sort of work or study situation that fits me.

Got to love Sweden.

 

*lights bonfire - horrific explosion resounds across England* "Whoopsy-doodles. I should have cut back on the lighter fluid!"

 

Haha. Yay, bonfire and explosions!

 

I dont think anyone on earth knows how relieved I feel. I survived my three exams. I rocked one, got a C+ on another ( Screw chemistry; so close to my 80%+ goal), and am not sure about the third. I survived today's lab, and even though I messed up mass of the solvent, I passed with 99% accuracy.

I'm just glad to be finished.

I'm tired. I dont have class until 11AM tomorrow. I have no more exams for another two weeks. I'm going to bed.

 

King Radical has returned to Dr. McNinja. My favourite character ever created in anything, ever.

 

You have my deepest sentiments. Chemistry sure did stink. I'm glad I don't have to deal with it anymore. Sleep tight

 

Congrats on surviving, lady. Now get some rest!!

 

Fallout: New Vegas = Win

 

I'm home

Now for the fun of a dissertation day tomorrow, with my tutor finally having returned to work after several months off.

 

Had SO much fun at the pub quiz with my bezzie and another girl i'm becoming good friends with at uni!

We DIDN'T come last!!! And I guessed right on the answer "Jackson Pollock" which I was rather chuffed about, especially as my head went blank for ages. We were SECOND from last, and got applause, seeing as we're newbies haha.

It's so cool having a "local" at uni...pub quiz every thursdays to look forward to now!

Oh, and we called ourselves 'The Non-Blondes'.

 

Cool Ash. I used to have a Pub Quiz night at uni - it was Thursdays too. I really miss it because the team have all moved away from the city centre and don't make it back often. We usually scored averagely and were always beaten by a team of policemen/women. Then the local was bought over by crummy management who don't have a quiz - philistines!

 

Halloween is in 7 days!
My son turns 1 in 9 days!
My in-laws arrive in 27 days!
What's not to be happy about?

 

This is a big Happy for me.
After 22 months on unemployment, I am again employed, beginning Monday!

 

Good deal, Cogito

I too get to go back to work on Monday after nearly a month laid off.

 

Congrats Cog!

 

I'm so happy for you, Tor! I cant believe your little boy is going to be a year old so soon! I'm so glad that everyone in your family is healthy and happy.

And Cog, I'm so happy that you're employed again; that is definitely something to celebrate! Congratulations!

Not the most exciting thing in light of everyone else's awesome news, but I just re-calculated my chemistry grade, and I have a B- now. It's slowly climbing again. I'm trying, but I dont think I'll be able to get it up to an A, but I still have eight weeks to do my best and try. My goal is to get a B+, and I think it's possible! Sometimes I become stricken with a feeling of "God, can I really handle the coursework?" But I'm doing well, and I'm happy with myself; I feel confident.

I'm home again, cuddling with my dog. Life is good.

 

Yay, Merc! That is awesome! And B- is a wonderful grade considering what I remember of Chemistry. ugh . Well, best of luck over the next eight weeks. I'm sure you'll do good. Life is so good.

 

Thank you! Chemistry is so challening, but so rewarding, and I'm glad people realize that. I think general chemistry is severely underrated as a course; it's hard! And I tested into a higher level than I really think I'm supposed to be in. Most kids who took AP Chem are in my class, but I took regular sophomore level chem in high school. I think I was lucky to score like I did, but it means a lot of extra work for me, since I'm brand-new to the material and most of the kids arent.

We're entering the more mathematical as opposed to theoretical half of the course next Monday, so I'm a bit worried... lucky for me, I have a few math majors as friends!

 

Woohoo! Definitely something to dance about!

Nice, chica! It's great to hear (see, I guess) that your hard work is paying off. Keep it up!

Tor, I can't believe Tobin is already almost a year old! Man, time flies...peektures??

 

So... out of over 4500 entries to a logo contest my submission is in the 43 best- plus, while most of those logo's were subtitled with 'needs revising' mine just said 'revise only if you wish!' which I guess means they like it.
Okay, so I know there are many good entries and I probably won't be voted best... but I'm still super excited.

 

Well done Cog!! And kudos everyone else for all your fortune.

I'm seeing Matt today, I'm visiting home for the weekend (after only two weeks away, but hey, they're my family) and I'm with my doggy!!

Also I'm hoping to surge forward with editing my novel and finish putting all the adjustments in today. Then I need to write a synopsis, chapter break down and (I think) a cover letter.
Oh golly gosh.

 

Great work, Merc!

 

Ooh, bonus! Good luck with it, Merc. I used to think the mathematical part was easier to follow, since you could always check your work. The stoichiometry was challenging, but also very rewarding when I got it correct.

 

Nicely done, Cogito! Will this mean the rest of us have a little more scope
to proffer dodgy advice in the punctuation and grammar section?

Sorting through my old cds; listening to some favourites. A Silver Mt Zion making me feel especially happy. Soppily happy.
