Well, I've survived another semester, and despite having taken on more than I thought I could chew, managed all A's on my final exams (phew) I didn't even need to resort to extra credit. One of my professors said I was a meticulous person, and another one called me a genius, (what an odd thing to call a person?) both were technical courses, so that makes me pretty happy. I used to be complimented for my brains regularly before my dad died, so that was like a weird reawakening of sorts... "yeah, there's three opinions now, it can't be wrong!"

I also helped my mom pay off all her taxes last year, which was bothering us quite a bit. Victory!

And I've returned here, so, I'd say that's a pretty good run for me.
