Well done, Tessar! And nice to hear you've got yourself a nice creative break-activity.

Well, I'm through Coastal Biology. And, if I'm lucky, I may get to do an independant study on either a nautilus or octopus this summer at the big Aquarium near here!

Makes me so happy!

....


okay, so I was so happy that I was trying to do a squeal of joy to demonstrate for my sister how happy I was (we were joking around... I don't really squeal when I'm excited ) and nothing came out for a second...


when I suddenly squeaked out a C6#.


O.o!!!!!!!!!!

I was able to do it again. I just totally discovered my whistle register.

I'm a very bad person...


I TOTALLY snatched my new sheet music. The stuff I asked for for Christmas. >.>

I asked for a Loreena McKennitt song (Penelope's Song) and my mom ordered it by digital download like I had asked. Today I saw it sitting there in her inbox and HAD TO HAVE IT. <.<


Am I a bad child for opening my gift early?

Yes.



Was it worth it?

... oh yes. Oh yes indeed.


Now to hide the music so that she doesn't realize I've already played it. >.>

<.<

What are you doing in your mother's inbox, I wonder?

Now don't try to say it was purely coincidental.

She uses microsoft outlook to take care of her e-mail, on our main computer, and she leaves it open all day . I glance through there every now and then to see what people are sending us because some times she agrees for our 'family' to do things without telling the rest of us. It's good to stay informed of these things .

I gots my birds back! And they were all like "AAAAAH! You'rebackweloveyouwherehaveyoubeenwethoughtyoudie d!"

Except Rosie was kinda pissed at me for the first ten minutes, nipped me and turned her back ignoring me, then as soon as I took her out of the cage she was happy cuddle-bird once again....And now they absolutely refuse to get off my clothing.

I knew you were a sneaky one, Tessar. We love you for that.

I'm happy because my sister's boyfriend asked me to do a drawing for one of his archaeology papers. A cut-out of an underground ossuarium. Exciting! Never done something like that before, so oooh a challenge! I'll also admit to some sense of guilty pleasure, since I've been just a teensy weensy jealous of my sister's great archaeological artefact drawings, and now I get to do something she cannot. Okay, blatant sibling rivalry here, so sue me.

Now that I've gloated about it, I can revert back to just being nervous about not being able to pull it off... It's gonna take a lot of perspective and it has to be fairly accurate.

Yay! I've done well or at least satisfactorily for all my exams so far! I'm almost definitely going to get all A's and B's. I was worried about math for a long time, and about lab at the last minute. And in thirty-two hours, I'll be on my way to ST. PETERSBURG FOR CHRISTMAS BREAK! WHEEEEEEE!!!

But anyway, time to go ensure I get an A or B on that philosophy final... >.>

The gallery's for fantasy art so I can't put it there. But I think I might put it up in the 'are you an artist'-thread when it's finished.

Many happy things today:
- I got a 8,1 for the paper I've worked so hard on! Hard work does pay off!
- I met someone from Japan who came by for a few days and is staying with my friend
- I was praised by one teacher who also helped with a few details on the paper I'm writing now. And another teacher said he had confidence I would be able to pass the exam if my essays were of the same quality as the paper I handed in a few weeks ago.
- My teacher (another one) gave me a book that I can use for my final project to finish my bachelor
- It's finally sunny weather!
- I might actually finish my paper in time to hand it in before the deadline and get on the train home
- I'm listening to great music
- My mother called
- I petted a puppy (after he put his dirty paws on my now-not-white-anymore coat... )
- I'm going by the pianoshop today to see if they have a nice digital piano that isn't too expensive
- If I am able to go home I can practice my piano skills some more and drag my parents to musicstored in search of a piano

- Basically I'm just happy! Whiee~h *sings, dances and hops around*
