Say something GOOD

[speediva]

Okay, not meant to embarass anyone, but since so many people are really having tough times getting through life lately, I decided to put up a thread about things that DO go right or have something good come out of them.

See, most people today live by what I call a "90-10" complex. Basically, out of 100%, today's society will focus on the 10% of things that go wrong as opposed to the overwhelming majority of 90% that go according to plan or even better. For example, if I did 10 things today, I'd gripe about the one thing that I didn't do right instead of glow about the 9 things that went just as I had intended... Get it?

When I was living w/extended family, one cousin decided to start a trend of getting a couple of us together every night before bed to say atleast one thing that went right that day. And know what? It helped. It let me see that even though I was having troubles, I had a whole bunch of things that were on-track.

I'll start this in here:

Today, I completed 2 full Calculus homework assignments and I got to go car shopping with my family to help them find something for them :flash:

P.S.--Please don't stray too far off this lineage... Thanx

I, together with 2 new friends from college, started and completed a 10 page marketing project tonight, then we went out to Taco Bell. Not only did I get my project done, I made 2 new friends

I got the TV in the living room to work.

I got a 96 on a test in my AP BC Calculus test and a 100 in my AP C Physics test yesterday. That was cool. Definitely wasn't expecting that. My Integra model is also coming along rather nicely. And when I cut myself last night I didn't die of blood loss.

P.S. saturntangerine, I like that 90/10 complex theory. Of course they're are lots of exceptions, but every rule has those. Keep it up!

My shipment of cars is being sent today, and in 2 weeks I get my wall unit to display my cars.

[Rich]

I got 83% on my VB Test (Which is quite good for me)

Also got 91% on my physics test (I couldnt believe my eyes )

I also bought one of those surround sound reciever thingys that was a display unit (got it cheap ) and hooked it up to my tv, cd player, and my Dreamcast runs through it, and it sounds AWESOME!
And got hooked up with a good deal on some speakers

So far it has been a decent week. I had Monday off from work...I got caught up on a bunch of stuff around the house that needed to be done, did some shopping, got my nails done, got my oil changed (see thread on men vs. womens oil changes )

To top it all off it was rainy and cool outside....something we long for in Arizona...so I had all the doors and windows open....and my doggies enjoyed it too.

The rest of this week I am stuck answering our phones at the office which sucks but it gives me a chance to catch up on my homework.....now if I can rip myself away from the forum for a bit......ARRGHHHH...ok I am addicted to nevermind on the homework hehe.

I think that a lot of good things have happened to me recently. Well, take today for example. I let myself sleep through my alarm. The glory of rebelling.

The weather has been beautiful. Classes have been going well (relatively speaking of course). I'm still alive..that's always a good thing. I get woken up almost every night by a phone call from someone who can almost always leave me with a smile as I drift off to sleep.

My fish haven't committed suicide. I'm going home for Thanksgiving! Once again...a little bit of rebellion is involved.

Of course the list could be much longer, but I guess that I would have to say that the good far outweighs the bad. And when bad times come along, I'm lucky enough to have someone who will reassure me that things will be alright. I guess that's another good thing..having that someone in my life.

Well...I'm off to a wonderful hot shower so that I can make an appointment on time. I think this is going to be a good day.

One thing I did right today?

I timed my arrival at work today perfectly - I didn't have to see my boss, and got to start work without having her yell at me for whatever I may or may not have done perfectly the day before.

So, I managed to put off some stress I would have had to deal with today until tomorrow .

BTW - can you tell that I had a shitty day?

Only 10 more months, and I'm DONE!
