Daily Happiness
Feb. 7th, 2010 12:41 pmI'm going to try my best to start updating again, and daily happiness posts seem to be the best way to do that. And it's just plain positive thinking, which I advocate. :)
1. We finally got my enrollment deposit sent off to Hendrix. (I did an overnight visit a couple weeks ago and decided I do want to go there for sure.) It was $350 for the deposit, so my parents wanted me to be absolutely sure that I wanted to go there. I do, and as long as I get the Governor's Distinguished Scholarship like I hope I will, everything is on track for Hendrix. :D
2. I had a birthday last week, so that involved getting some good stuff. My parents bought me Stephen King's new book, Under the Dome, so that I would have something tangible to open. We did that and had cheesecake (I'm not a huge fan of normal cake) on the night before my birthday, because my birthday was on a Wednesday and Wednesdays are always hectic because of church. My Granny and aunt Sandy came over and had cheesecake with us, but my Memaw wasn't feeling well so I took her a piece on the night of my actual birthday.
My Granny gave me $100, as usual, and Sandy gave me $20. Memaw also gave me $20 when I took her her cheesecake. My parents are going to get me another gift besides the book, but I'm not sure what I want yet. :/
3. I've been enjoying the new (to me) iMac! I've written about 3000 words since I've gotten it, and this is good, because I had gotten out of the habit of writing regularly. I'm about to finish up the third (and final) draft of my first novel, so this boost of productivity is just what I needed. I've just been using TextEdit on the Mac, and I've found that it's an extremely capable writing tool. It's a lot nicer than WordPad without being too feature-rich.
I am not a Mac convert, though, nor am I a hardcore PC. I am now both a Mac AND a PC. I don't even know which commercial to be in favor of now. :p Thanks again to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
