Giant Thread of Optimism

Instead of logging in and seeing all the bad that is happening in people's lives, why not focus on some of the better things? What if everyday you focused on something good, and posted about it? That is what this thread is for! Share the love and pessimism, brag about your e-peen, etc.

Today I got my marks back for my last 3 exams, and a lab assignment. I am sitting on an A+ which made the 5 40-hour weeks of work worth the effort, and the last weekend of cramming worth it. On top of that I get to relax during reading week and kick back with friends =).

What kind of good is happening in your life?

A thesis statement in what sense? Like a traditional honors/masters thesis, or like thesis in the most basic of terms as in this is what my paper will do? Just finished my final midterm, was one brutal fucker of a test but I think I got an A+ on it =).

You really gotta enjoy the little things... rule #32.

Last week I started working on something I've always wanted to do, and I'm having a blast learning actionscript and flash so I can give back to the LoK community. (instead of being the leech I've been for like a year.) I love coding, it's my passion.

Cool! I'm currently learning C/C++, but that's not exactly getting flash games on the site. :P

Sorta like this but it's more taking some else's paper and saying what they did.

I'm happy right now, because it's Friday. That means that tomorrow is Saturday, day 1 of my 9-day holiday from work! Woohoo!

I'm happy because I'm not dead.
I won't be sleeping in mud, dealing with shellshock nor will I ever have to dodge bullets.
I know it's a very basic and simple concept, but still things seem to always be better than I expect them to be. And as long as my happiness will not interfere with my ambitions, I will be quite well.

By the way, if you've not noticed by now I am back, which is sweet beyond what I can communicate, though I will only be around once in a while. Good to see everyone is still alive. =D

@alcander:
Not being dead, sleeping in a real bed, and not being potentially shot at every day are all things that are very nice. I'm glad you've got a break!

I get a day off because I'm sick :D


This gives me some more time to study for my tests because the staff is so nice at my school >>

Alcander! I thought I would never hear from you again! Glad you're back.
Also, I just got sound back on my computer, so I'm celebrating with my favorite music.
