    Don't think that would go over well with the supervising faculty.

    "Oh, student, where are you going?"

    "To meet my pal from the secret internet forum none of you have ever heard of."

    "..."

    No, more like this:

    "Hi!"

    "Er... who are you?"

    "Oh, I'm friends with one of your students on an internet forum. We've never actually met but I do count him as a friend. See, this is the thing about the internet, I can speak to whoever I want, whenever I want in milliseconds. It's a marvelous feat of engineering.

    Anyway, which one is Sabreur?"

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That made me crack up laughing. I could just imagine the look on their faces. LOL!

    LOL! I don't think they'd go for it.

    I am in a good mood because today has been a very funny day. Although, the amount of laughter in this house at the moment is going to eventually put me into labour (fingers crossed) :p

    I am happy because tomorrow at 4pm I am having an ultrasound to see if our L'il Pome has grown at all. I'm seriously nervous about it all because of the last ultrasound, but looking forward to getting closer to knowing what is going on and what the plan will be.

    I'm back in the lass I like's good books :)

    And on top of that, my managerial debut is on Saturday morning. After years of playing, I'm making (at the grand old age of 20) the transition to the managerial hot-seat. I'll start simple, I think. 4-4-2, with the wingers tucking in to the midfield when we don't have the ball.

    I am nearly finished applying to Purdue University --for free! It's College Go week here in Indiana, and all Indiana schools are taking applications free of charge. CHA-CHING! I've just saved $50.

    My heart is going thumpy-thump-thump right now. I have a feeling that because of my intended major (psychology, in the School of Liberal Arts) which is likely to change or double (biology and psychology which are in the School of Science and School of Liberal Arts), I will get in, because the School of Engineering is the only superscary one to apply to, but still. I have this nightmare about not going anywhere. It's not even logical anymore --I am admitted into Indiana University already. I am going somewhere. I dont know what would happen if I was deferred or denied though. :eek:

    I have to finish up my essay, and I'll sit on it and have someone review it, but it's going into cyberspace admissions on Friday, at the very latest.

    Oh my gosh. I'm so so so so so so nervous; it's a little ridiculous --when I get my letter from Kenyon in the mail, regardless of what it says, I am going to pop like a ballooon.

    Also, my counselor wants me to apply to Vanderbilt. What the heck?!? I'm not smart enough for Vandy. I dont know --should I throw away $50 to Vandy's admissions, who will likely reject me? My counselor thinks I have a shot though, she thinks I can get in.

    I'm so mixed up.

    (Regardless, this is a happy event. ;) I promise.)

    PS: Sorry for the bad grammar; I'm really exhausted, hyper, and happy. i havent bothered to fix any mistakes.

    I am happy because I was able to spend most of my day with someone pretty special.

    Just a fabulous time. :D

    I am happy because I just watched the end of Hell's Kitchen, and someone who struggled through so much pain, with so much skill and confidence, won. He deserved it.

    I am happy for a few reasons at the moment.

    Reason 1: I was meant to get my new mobile phone today, but it never showed up. I rang them and they said it was their mistake and they hadn't got enough identification when I spoke to them a week ago, so now that they have got it, my phone will arrive on Monday and because it was their fault and not mine, I no longer have to pay out my old mobile phone contract. Wahoo! I originally had to pay out around $600, for the contract to be paid out and all the cancellation/termination fees. Now I don't have to pay a cent. hehehe!

    Reason 2: I had my ultrasound 2 hours ago, and while it wasn't all good news, the Sonographer told us that the baby's heart rate is normal, there is plenty of fluid around the baby, and at the end, he told us that the baby had definitely grown. Not enough of course, but it had grown. I also thought I may have been in labour, but no, false alarm. But from the Sonographers point of view, L'il Pome should be here within the next week. Have to phone my doctor Friday to find out what he wants to do.

    I am happy because although things aren't brilliant there are still little things to look forward to. Like meeting with the shoemaker on saturday morning! :)

    I finally have all of my text books. Yes, they cost me somewhere in the region of £200, but at least it's all sorted now :)

    I also made it to my lecture this morning, when it was really looking like I might not.

    Thanks Chimmy! You are such a lovely friend. Big hugs to you!

    Thanks Rei! YOu are very kind.

    And that sounds like a great place to be, Rei. Definitely a winning combination if you ask me!

    And even better, I've been having contractions for hours now. Not regular though, but I've been having them. Could just be another false alarm... :D I'll be seriously happy once I know I'm definitely in labour and the baby is going to come.

    I woke up this morning, thought 'I'm back on good terms with her', and promptly fell back into a contented doze.

    Not conducive to work, but who cares?
