A most excellent day

Had an unusually pleasant day today.

Booked an appointment to have my grad photos taken, mostly because my parents & grandmother wanted them, but also because in my last school photo, taken in OAC, I looked like a frantic monkey boy. Problematic because a) am a girl, b) am not a monkey and c) grandma keeps this embarrassingly horrific photo in her wallet. Am happy to occupy such an exalted position in her wallet & her hierarchy of the "goodness" of her grandchildren, but would like picture to at least look like myself. But they turned out okay, and the photographer was a nice old guy who chit-chatted very nicely and told about his (obselete) electrical systems knowledge.

Also, forced my hair into a manageable state for the pictures. It was shiny and swingy, so I felt pretty even if I looked like a troll. Watched an episode of Full House (k-drama); utterly silly plot setup, but it's amusing because the interaction between the two leads is so funny (plus they make lots of faces).

Stopped at Shopper's on the way back, bought nice discounted aloe-scented St. Ives hand cream. The smell of aloe gives me warm fuzzy feelings because I'd bought a small tube of it in Hong Kong last Christmas, which was the best trip ever. Also, got bag of Smartfood as fuel for working on my 499 project.

Went to class (CISC 466 - Algorithms II), learned about linear programming (which isn't really programming, and is less linear than a ball of tangled yarn). All was fine until prof announced he hadour marked tests to return, the test being the one that I thought I had bombed. Turns out I did much better than I had thought, so I pretty much bounced out of Nicol Hall. Huzzah for flukes!

Watched some Olympics when I got home, ate my Smartfood & remnant almonds from trip to Tara's, had some yummy leftover Beef Hutsput for lunch and a mug of tea. Had yummy veg stir-fry for dinner. Mmm...food IS heaven.

So in spite of vague worries about certain things, all in all, a very good day.
