Downs:
Mom broke her arm, and Dad has a hernia which is going to be taken care of come January. I hate seeing my parents in pain.
Ups:
I was promoted to Front Manager - no pay raise, but it'll make my resume look better.
I have been ROCKING school, acing the tests and papers like a Goddess of English. The Most Feared Professor of the institution has praised my academic writing skills. I'm happy, and I'm motivated.
Our team finally 'won' a certain competition. Okay, we placed second, but it was good enough to earn us the privilege of hosting the competition this spring. I've been looking forward to doing this for over five years.
I've started exercising after eight years of only running after buses. It feels great to work my body.
Impersonal Ups:
Finland won the Eurovision Song Contest! Unbelievable! I thought I'd never live to see that. I was this close to tears...
It seems like Swedish Christer Fuglesang is finally going to go into space. Once again, I thought I'd never live to see that. It's been a running joke the last decade or so that he'll never go into space.
