God, it's been so long since I've been excited about something for real. It doesn't sound like much, I know, but knowing that I only have to answer 10.5 questions correctly on an open note test to get an A is really amazing. Like I said, I haven't been really excited in a long time, as a lot of stuff hasn't really been going the way I'd like it to, but I'm just happy to get this. And as an added bonus, I get my good student discount back on my car insurance! Woohoo!
Other than that, I'm flat broke. I've got a pay check going into my account that will immediately be taken back out for utilities and cable. I did just get smart and cancel my tv service and reduced my internet to the 712k speed (only $16.99! What a deal!) from the 7MB I have before (which I didn't realize I had, but I really miss it now... but not the $50 + $45 for cable I was spending). Adding to that, I'm not running the AC much (and if I do, it's on somewhere between 82 and 86 depending on my fan situation).
Okay, so, hopefully the string of good luck keeps going (I know, it's not good luck, I actually put forth an effort and it paid off... that's really what I'm excited about. I didn't fail this time!) I'll probably come back from work (I'm covering some girl's shift from 7 to 10... not a big deal, but she sounded really sick on the phone, and I'm a nice guy) and write a little about emotions and whatnot. I just read this book for class called Mean Disease about anorexia nervosa, and it really connected to me. Not the AN, but the book was written by an AN patient's son, and the depression and feelings he expressed in his writing articulated some of the same things I've been dealing with for the past 4 years.
Enough of this though, I've got to get ready and head out. Hopefully I can get some of that stuff down later tonight (as I don't have WoW to escape into anymore... I think I have a WalMart gift card around here from Christmas/Birthday, I may try to go see if I can buy a card with that)...
