This thread needs more love :)

Today was awesome because I found out I've lost 15 lbs since Valentines day and I'm having some friends over tonight to hang out and watch movies. My room is clean, the weather is beautiful and I managed to be really productive today!

I slept in, then spent some time with my best friend and saw Soul Surfer.

That movie is cheesy as hell but considering I've been having a hard time lately with medical issues, it really helped put things in perspective. Plus, seeing my friend always makes my day awesome. :) I know it's silly but I'm really excited about this week because normally I only see him on Monday and Wednesday but this week we have plans every single day.

My university had a big community event today where the entire campus was filled with booths and activities. It happens every year but I had only been once before and been miserable. I went with some friends and had such an amazing time. I did some sake bombs, walked around and just enjoyed being with awesome people in awesome weather. And to top it all off, I went to my best friends place and played video games for a while before we got dinner and just hung out for a while.

I don't think days get better than this! :)

This is the lamest reason ever..

After years of being too exhausted to go to school regularly and having to switch to part-time, I managed to go to all my classes today. Today was my longest day of the week, with classes from noon till 7 straight. Before I finally got my fatigue diagnosed, I never would've made it past 2 pm without ditching and going to bed. :) Today I made it through the whole day.

It might sound minor but at the end of classes, I was so insanely happy to feel like a normal, functioning student. :)

Woke up feeling great and a bit sore from yesterday's trip to the gym. Had time to make some eggs with feta and spinach, drank an awesome latte and this afternoon my sister is bringing her kids over to meet my cat and play with him until he just can't play anymore. She is also feeding me and I'm sure she'll bring me something that she thinks I'll need -- she always does and I love her for it.

Holy poo poo. You're basically having the same day as me.

I woke up feeling sore from an awesome work-out and rolled over to see this:

I just had the best day EVER and need to rant about how wonderful it was!

I found out my favorite team, the Sacramento Kings, were going to stay in Sacramento for another year after months of waiting. I honestly thought they were being relocated to LA.

Got to see my best friend in class today and made plans to see Thor on Friday.

Saw my ex for the first time since the breakup. We got coffee and later a drink and just chatted. I realized for the first time in months that I'm really OKAY. In my mind, I had blown up ever seeing him into this massively terrifying and traumatic event. But really, I think I was less affected by it than he was. It's good to know that I wasn't only okay about the situation when I didn't have to think about it. It's a nice feeling knowing I can sit next to him and not be hurt or angry or nostalgic.

I had an amazing date with a guy I'm crazy about. :) We were supposed to just get a beer but spent the whole night just having fun. When the bar closed, we walked to the state capitol building which I had never seen before. And ahhh, I had missed being kissed.

:woop:

I have no idea how the rest of the week can top that!

I am no fan of the Kings, to put it mildly, but I'm so happy Sac gets to keep its team. The fact that y'all continue to pack Arco Arena despite that it's dangerous to get within ten blocks of the thing indicates real commitment. Kevin Johnson owns and the Maloofs can suck it.

:) Ok, (finally) seeing this helped make my day!

But I had the most awesome yesterday. The day itself was long and tedious but two of my good friends came over, we did a massive potluck dinner along with my housemates, then we spent the evening watching the Dark Night. :) It's silly but just having a nice evening with my friends made it awesome.

Finally picked up my cap and gown for graduation, found out I'm not failing Ochem like I though (C- is passing), and got an early grad gift unexpectedly - an acoustic guitar. A friend of mine was awesome enough to spend some time showing me how to play and now I can almost already play one of my favorite songs!

I'm also starting what is going to be an amazing week. :) I get to spend every night with friends before ending the week with the actual walking ceremony where after 6 long years, I finally get my BS.

My day was actually pretty lovely - pulled an all nighter, had a final, was kinda upset that I got extra time on the test because I qualify as disabled...

But then I got to hang out with my favorite person ever. :) We didn't do anything really - just sit around and talk and watch Zombieland. I just love that my best friend can make any day instantly better!

Also, now the test I've been dreading all week is over and I don't feel terrible about it! And the weather is perfect!

This was so surreal I just have to share it.

I've been out of work for over a year and it's been miserable. I have an impressive resumé and have been doing a lot of research on how to conduct yourself professionally in interviews, write cover letters, that sort of thing. I've had a good handful of interviews, but this is Michigan and no one hired me. Over the last few months, even the interviews have dried up.

Then I got fed up (and perhaps a little drunk) and responded to a job posting with the following cover letter to my resumé:

"Dear Sirs or Madames, Attached you will find my resumé. Oh dear god, I need a job so bad I'm bleeding from the eyeballs. You want me to be able to lift fifty pounds? I will bench press an elephant if it will get me an interview. If you're more artistically minded, I will bench press an elephant while singing Cherubino's aria from The Marriage of Figaro. I will even try to stop bleeding from the eyes while I do it. No promises, though. XOXO ~PeachHat!"

Two days later, I have a job. Red letter day. What the gently caress.

:) That's amazing! And now you know the place that hired you is either 1) awesome or 2) incredibly lazy and doesn't read things. Either way you win.

I'm still in an awesome mood from the last few days! :)

Friday I got my first response from jobs I've applied to. They requested some more information and said they would be calling me next week about setting up an interview. Considering how few jobs I've applied to, I'm really excited my first response wasn't an immediate no. And although I'm not crazy about the location of this place, it's at an amazing organization that I'd LOVE to work for.

Then yesterday I got to see my best friend who moved away and later I had dinner with a couple of my closest friends who I also rarely see anymore. We watched Rubber which was pretty incredible in itself.

Tonight is a new episode of True Blood and the season premiere of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Tomorrow? :) I started dating someone a couple weeks ago and it's going really well. I thought we might have problems but it seems to be working out surprisingly well. I think I'm going to his place tomorrow to start our week long marathon of Star Wars (my first time ever seeing it).

Yaaaaaa, life is awesome.

Then later in the day, my boss who runs the lab told me she wishes they could keep me on as an employee once my student status runs out in a couple of months. :) It was nice to hear!

It's not even 9am and so far my day has been pretty un-awesome. No hot water when I went to take a shower, I have no idea what time I went to bed but I'm guessing it was later than I should have because I'm tired, etc.

I had such a great day, despite having an awful time at work, that I'm going to be CRAZY and post here twice today.

I missed the sushi buffet but I went out to lunch with someone and they paid for me which was unexpectedly sweet. Then we spent a couple hours trying to fly a kite with no wind but we finally succeeded! A little kid and his dad spent some time watching us and when we finally got it the kid got really excited and started clapping. :3: During that time he picked me a wild flower which would have made my day anyway. Finally, the night ended with going to his place to watch a movie and a little friendly cuddling and some chocolate.

So definitely an awesome day. :)

Now I just have to wait until it all clears in the next week or two and I can finally start working a REAL job :) Then it got better because my best friend had an interview today and HE got hired.
