Whew!

Well, thank God that's done! I hate tests of any stripe, even if they are over material I've actually studied. And I just had a nasty ol' midterm in my Microsoft Office I class. I think I did pretty well, and I'm just really happy it's all over. Now I get to stress over my Legal Writing midterm, and the fact that I just totally forgot the appointment I had with my shrink yesterday. Oh well. What's done is done, and can't be changed. Guess I'll have to call Sherida (his office manager) to apologize, and then hope she doesn't charge me for the time anyhow.

It's a beautiful day today, with a gorgeous clear blue sky. I hadn't really thought about it till today, but living in a place where it rains so damn much totally makes me appreciate a sunny day. I've never felt so ecstatic about a cloudless, translucent sky as I did this morning on the way to school. Even though I was running ridiculously late and was dreading my test, I was still humming a happy tune as I drove. And heck, it isn't even close to spring yet!

So hopefully my new ISP will have their servers up and running by this afternoon, so that I can install my cable modem and ditch dial-up (at least for a little while). I continue to amaze myself at the progress I have made emotionally, and yet things like the aforementioned server problems can still send me into a tizzy. As long as I have complete control of a situation, I'm just dandy. Take that away, and I go from zero to bitchy in 2 seconds flat! Like last night...I was freaked out about the server problem, as well as my test, and the fact that I had to leave a mess of cabling and boxes lying around in my normally-spotless living room, and that my PDA didn't seem to want to hot-sync correctly so I could add more MP3s to my SD card. I guess all of this is really underlined by the fact that I'm nervous about what Dad would say about my spending the money for cable Internet and TV, when I'm not even supposed to have the TV service! But I'm keeping scrupulous track of what I spend, and none of his money will be going towards this. So...a small helping of guilt, anyone?

Guess I'll come back and post more when I can start adding photos and links and more cool randomness.
