Optimism

Believe it or not I once won the Optimist Oratorical contest and represented my city in our region. Granted my speech was about a girl who commits suicide, but still. At any rate I have decided to try to act my age and to start focusing on the positive. Ok lots of good things have happened this week.

I got to spend a long weekend with a friend of mine which was tons of fun.

I got to hang out with another friend and watch Donnie Darko again. We also bonded over the fact that both our dads are musical buffs. Unexpected but lots of fun.

Watched Harry Potter with a friend of mine last night, got to see the thirty minutes at the end that I missed when the theatre was evacuated when I went to see it. Then went to see a friend's brother's band play at a local bar. Even have a band t-shirt to commemorate it. It was lots of fun. Also got to talk into the wee small hours in the morning with this friend and chat about my project and coding and books and films... great.

So all in all although I am a little stress bunny nowadays things are getting better. And my folks have decided to give me the 300 bucks that the irs all of a sudden decided they wanted to I am relieved about that too.

So why I am not cheery with all of this good stuff? I am not sure. I feel like the omen of doom is hanging over me. I promised my advisor that this project would be done by the end of this month which is very scary to me right now. Basically what this requires is for things to pretty much go right. Science is hard. My advisor told me this the other day... he said that even crusty experience scientists still find it very hard.

Cross your fingers that my ankle will feel fine by the end of this weekend. I twisted it slightly yesterday.
