Things to Be Happy About

I do this annoying thing in my journal where I always seem to end on a high note. I moan and complain, and then I turn it into some kind of pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps moment. I say annoying, because sometimes it would be nice just to feel the way I feel without then taking on some responsibility right then for making things better.

So, after yesterday’s post, I was inclined to post something light-hearted and happy today. But, I really wasn’t feeling it. I’m still restless. I’m still panicked.

But, then I got some good news. Just something small. And, then I went home and got another bit of good news. And then another! And, you know what? I can be happy about things at the same time that I’m completely freaked out! I mean, I’m complicated!

So, here I go:

1. I heard from one of the schools I applied to. They received all of my letters, and my application is now complete. I mean, I figured as much, but I wasn’t sure that all of my recommendation letters were mailed. It’s nice at least to have that worry off my back. The admission assistant (who went to my school, by the way) said I’d receive the decision by early February. This is my backup school (though I’d be happy to attend it), so if I’m accepted, I’ll be able to take a big deep breath. And, if I’m not, then prepare yourselves for some serious freaking out!!
2. I have Valentine’s Day plans!! No, I didn’t hear from Adorable Boy. Damn. Lisa is hosting a party for singles. Um . . . I think there will four of us. But, plenty of eating and drinking to go around. I’m excited.
3. I found out that I got an A in one of my classes. I was actually pretty sure that I aced both of my classes, but this one there was some doubt about. No doubt anymore!
4. I watched Tootsie for the first time. I loved it. “I said good day, sir!”
5. I ordered some new China Glaze nail polish, and it arrives today!
6. Holy crap!! I was nominated for a 20sb Award. Specifically, Most Diverse Subject Matter. This is just freaking awesome.

Thank you everyone for your very nice comments on my last post. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one hating on January.
