O.o Dearie, you need a day off.
I most certainly do... however, today I sang for 4 hours, did science, and rode in the car... Our family has been tracking a CD in a studio, but due to a really loud dog/traffic/etc.. I had to retrack piano and some vocals. it's been a fun week :P

Thank you for praying! I barely passed, but I passed! \:D/ I think I would have done better if my teacher wasn't constantly talking during my entire test...She was teaching a class (which meant she had to talk the whole time) and had me take the test in the same room. I can't concentrate very well when it is loud or noisy. If I studied harder, I probably would have done better too, however I was very busy this week, and frankly, I lacked motivation to study for this test. I studied hard, but I could have studied harder. I has just wanted to get this class done and over with because I am really only doing this for necessity and more independence. I was not doing it for enjoyment or some type of rite of passage. If it was up to me, I would much rather not drive, but in this world, you almost have to know how to drive. I also think if the test came with a letter grade or some type of percentage I would have been more motivated. Yes, I am a very academic focused person...I need to develop my motivation for life skills. Hehe. Okay, I am going to stop rambling now.

You're always to the point, never rowdy, have the ability to ignore the last 15 posts that were spam posts in a thread and post on the topic, and so forth \:D/

How can someone "spam" this topic? O.o It's designed (you designed it) to let people talk about their day. So it encompasses all walks and talks of life.

I'm sorry, but you most certainly inferred it, if not explicitly said it. I implied. If I was wrong to imply anything, ignore my post. But hey. It's still true. :noway:

Today was pretty boring. I wrote a bit of my book (a novel I've been working on for many years), did some portfolio pages, fed calves, and helped make cheese. Then it started raining, so I headed inside to check out things here!
(Note: these things were not written in chronological order)
Pretty normal day, overall.

My brother has the flu! :mad: I really, really, really hope that I don't catch it, because it has been many years since I have thrown up (so many that I don't even remember how long it's been) and I would prefer to keep things that way. ;)

On an even more random note, today I tried Tim Hortons frozen raspberry lemonade on the recommendation of my best friend, and it was quite good. :yes: If you're Canadian or an American who lives near one of those lovely US Tim Hortons, you should give it a try. The small is only a dollar. \:D/ (Plus tax, I assume. I got an ice capp at the same time, so I didn't really pay attention.)

Ah, I see...Now was that a compliment or insult? ;)

I got 110% on my writing finals! :D I am so happy about that. The test was pretty easy for me probably because I love writing, English, and literature. So, that was the biggest highlight of my day. *Goes off dancing.* (Literally, I have ballet tonight. Hehe.)

We've got at least 8 here, if not more. I don't know how common they are elsewhere.

It's sooo yummy!!!! I got one a couple days ago. The chicken salad wraps are pretty good too. When I get ice caps I always get them with chocolate milk cause they're better that way.

Oh hey guys. It's snowing. And hailing. And thundering.

It's been a good day; I unpacked (finally, since I got home Monday ;) ), watched a recap of American Idol online, did dishes, and now I should organize all I unpacked, and plan how to paint a chair \:D/ I was way more productive today than yesterday...I was glued to my laptop, frying my brain with TV.

The weather has been warm and breezy; it was a bit cooler today but it's still nice.
Oh, and I start volunteering (to get service hours for school) at a horse ranch on Monday :) I'm a bit scared, but I hope it'll be fun, since I like horses :)

Till the end of the line.

I have determined since last friday I have spent more time outside of my home during the past week then at home. (this does not include sleeping.) I spent about 24 hrs. at school from friday morning to Sunday night and have been all over the place since :mad: one good thing this week was I got to see one of my former teachers who just gave birth to her first child 3 weeks ago :inlove: he was adorable ;)
My mom also thinks I might have Carpal tunnle syndrom in my wrists(I hope I don't :anxious: ) I have no idea how it would have come to be since I had time to be on the computer lately............... :-

I actually had a genuinely good day today. Nothing exciting or out of the ordinary, but it was still good. I didn't have to fight depression or work to stay happy. I actually WAS happy. \:D/ Praise God!

I had the diametric opposite of this. :( I was gone all day selling curriculum. I was hauling around 17+ crates filled with textbooks, teacher's manuals, and other junk. Fortunately for me, my mom was the one selling the merchandise, so I didn't have to do much except set up her laptop. So I played flash games all day, listened to Musicbox Dancer, and helped my mom with her never-ceasing computer troubles. While that may sound fun, I was extremely tired (had to wake up at 5:00 to load the car, eat breakfast, drive there, set up, etc) and was really bored. I would sit at my computer, stare at my screen, and just do nothing until electrical impulses decided to move my body by themselves. We had several people come in, but since I wasn't selling the stuff, I didn't really talk to them. I would help them out if they needed it, but other than that, I would just sit there. At least we got Domino's pizza delivered. And apparently, they are now having garlic sauce with their pizza. \:D/ Their coolness level just went up some points.
