The Happiness Thread

I have the next two days off! So excited

 

Just submitted my application to UNT.

Now to send off the forms for my references to fill out, complete my statement of purpose, and submit the application for the specific program I'm planning to do. Oh, and study for the GRE...but hey, step one is down!

 

Got the news I'll be assistant manager at my store soon. More hours, more money- awesome.

 

Congratulations on the promotion! That's awesome!

 

Feeling relieved that I'm not completely crazy.

 

^That's always a good feeling.

 

YAY!!! Good job Heather!! Also, studying for the GRE = excuse to go to Barnes & Noble.

 

That it does. I tried to be a good girl and find books on it at the library...but I couldn't find any.

 

Well I'm happy about how far I got in a video game once I received a rocket launcher with infinite ammo. XD

<----Gamer nerd XD

 

Spring Break is next week, I have a party this Saturday with my friends, and my friends are the best people in the world.

 

I'm spewing out the first draft of my media studies essay at record pace. I wish I could get away with handing in my first draft, it's so much more fun the polished copy will be, but somehow I think that wouldn't end well for me. Oh well, it's still fun to write!

 

I've got a couple paragraphs of my statement of purpose written (don't ask me how long I've been working on it...), and now I have chicken grilling on my stove so I can make some greek salad for dinner before I go watch all the other girls from my newbie class take their skills test. The only thing that would make this evening better would be Joel getting off work before I leave for skills.

 

Registered for classes at my university today! Can't wait to go back! I hate my current school, so the idea of going back this fall is like.... HELL YES!!!!!!

 

I registered for my Fall 2011 classes and THERE IS NO MATH!!! I'm doing it with the assumption that I've passed my final math requirement and will no longer have to bother with it ever again!

 

I LOVE math! I'm excited to be taking a math class in Fall. Of course, it's NOT the math I want. WAY too easy, but oh well.

 

Now THAT makes me happy!

 

Writing a scathing criticism of a judicial decision is so therapeutic. Writing a scathing criticism of that decision and writing a subtle character assassination of the claimant even more so. It technically isn't going in the dissertation, but it was quite good to get my feelings about that shameless mercenary four-letter word beginning with 'C' out. 12 years of righteous annoyance in that.

Makes me feel better about not working properly anyway.

 

Well, you may like math, sir, but I don't.

At any rate, tomorrow is Friday!

 

I think I have an addiction to debates. Whenever I debate some serious topic wih somebody, and especially if it gets intense, I always feel like I've run a mile and laughed for hours straight. It's like endorphins or something that makes me happy from discussing things with other people, gathering knowledge and seeing other opinions. It's a mind-opening experience, and I love it. Which is kind of weird, maybe.

 

Sounds a lot like me. I love getting in debates so much that sometimes I'll disagree with people just to start a debate.

In fact -- I hate debates! You're wrong! Other people's opinions are worthless! Debates are useless and a waste of time! Let's debate this!

Today I'm happy because someone who I care about and respect keeps saying wonderfully nice things about me, even though I keep trying to make it clear that I don't need her to say those nice things. Genuine respect is such a wonderful thing. I'm going to put more of it out there.

 

I just love creating my sci-fi world. I've taken the modern Earth and redrew the lines.

The USA is now a monarchy with Atlanta and New Orleans as the two most strongest cities in that nation. (Atlanta being the capital, of course).

The UK has been dissolved and the nations are:
The Republic of Ireland
The Nation of Wales
The Kingdom of England
The Heartland of the Scots

Now to take care of the others. XD I think I will obviously make France the #1 supreme superpower in the world. Basically, they're like Britain during the mid-1800s. Epically powerful!

 

It's been a tough day on the diss. Only one paragraph thus far, and various modifications to what's gone before mean that I've only managed 400 words. But I am over halfway through the substance of the whole thing now, and I'm on track to be finished in 7 days' time. I just need to finish this chapter this week and I'll be just about through the worst of it. Under 1,500 words of the chapter left, 3k-3.5k on the final chapter, modifications and edits, then the writing of the conclusions. Almost there.

 

Finally the five deadlines that were due this week are all submitted. Uni, please don't do this again next year, and do actually communicate with the other modules so I don't have a heck lot of work all due in the same week. It's not fun.

And I'm going home for Easter tomorrow.

 

Ah food. You always know how to tame the beast within me.

*noms on a turky and cheese sandwich*

 

I'm not sure why I'm happy. I'm just insanely so....
