I can definitely do something about the earpin. Just remind me which color/kind and which ear you lost.

Thumbs up: The school term is almost over! :)

Thumbs down: Finals are next week :(

Thumbs up: Summer is almost here = beach, bike riding, shorts, summer blockbusters etc. :D

Thumbs down: I'm taking summer session at school :(

Thumbs up: Summer session is going to help me graduate sooner. :)

Thumbs down: Summer session costs about 13 billion dollars. :(

Thumbs up: I got into a lab I really needed this morning AND at a more favorable time than the one I was waitlisted for before. :)

Thumbs down: My favorite lab partner is not taking the same section with me. :(

Thumbs up: I got an extension on my homework since I was in New Orleans :)

Thumbs down: I'm procrastinating it right now. :(

Thumbs up: my daughter just graduated from BROWN UNIVERSITY

Thumbs down: The loans start coming due, soon!

Thumbs up: Many of her professors (including the head of her department--the theater department) said wonderful things about her, her intelligence, here skills, and her strength of character

Thumbs up: I also had a great time with my son (things have been rough lately)

Thumbs down: My home is now different from her home, and his home. It's to be expected, though, when it's supposed to be different from their mom's home.

Thumbs up: Just finished my last exam this year.
Thumbs down: They could have gone better.
Thumbs up: All but one of them could have gone worse.
Thumbs up: I get to go home!
Thumbs down: This means leaving Oxford.
Thumbs up: Three month holiday! Woo!

Thumbs Up: Doing a decent amount of traveling in the next little bit (D.C. this weekend, maybe Seattle in 3 weeks, NYC in about 5).
Thumbs Up: I can, in a way, afford it.

Thumbs Down: I'm pretty tired and mostly want to spend my time after all this getting to know Chicago better. I feel like I've been neglecting my adventuring in favor of going to see other people...which isn't a bad thing in and of itself but it's getting to be a bit much. I've never liked being or wanted to be a person who was constantly busy.

Thumbs up: I should be getting all of my rental deposit back. Yay money!
Thumbs down: I spent forever cleaning the bathroom today and wasn't able to shower afterwards so I feel gross.
Thumbs up: The landlady said it was the nicest bathroom she had seen all day.
Thumbs up: Free wifi on the shuttle van. I can satiate my pinterest craves data free!
Thumbs up: It didn't rain on me mailing my package.
Thumbs down: UPS is ridiculously overpriced.

Thumbs up: Air show coming to town! Free fun for the whole family!

Thumbs down: Taking place at McConnell AFB, aka, right across the freaking street.

Thumbs up: Can watch flying demonstrations without leaving the apartment!

Thumbs down: Flying demonstrations happening during baby's naptime. His naptime that is increasingly precious and difficult to achieve. Gah.

Thumbs Down: Because zero is going home tomorrow. :cry:

Thumbs Up: I should be able to catch up on my reading. And letter-writing. And blogging. And napping.
Thumbs Down: Much as I love/like those things, I'd rather have the company.

Thumbs Down: Atty was asleep in his stroller right when the fighter jet demonstration began. He did NOT APPROVE.

Thumbs Up: Got to stand in my yard and watch the demonstration, which was COOL (once Atty relaxed).

Thumbs Down: Atty didn't stay calm and the loud noises freaked him out again.

Thumbs Up: We didn't have to fight traffic, find parking, go through security, and use port-a-potties before finding out Atticus hates loud airplane noises.

Thumbs Sideways: Watching fighter jets in formation flying near the speed of sound right over your home is thrillingly and uncomfortably Apocalypse-y.

This is how I always feel about airshows. It's much more so, now, as I'm living in a city with a military base and I believe an RAF airfield nearby. It's really cool, but slightly unnerving at the same time to see the various military demonstrations.

Thumbs down: AT&T just informed me that I have exceeded my bandwidth limit and will be charged for an extra gig.

Thumbs up: I get to spend the next week watching as much porn YouTube as I can in an attempt to use what I'm being charged for.

Thumbs sideways: Honestly, why can't they pick a smaller, more reasonable unit to meter you by? I'd have no problem paying $32 for using 3.2 GB, but $40 for 4 when I didn't use all of it just because that's the digit they arbitrarily decided to round to is a bit ridiculous.

Thumbs Down: I have no friends...so, while still fun, not as fun as sharing it with someone else.

Thumbs Up: Took today off from work. Needed it.
Thumbs Down: Should have gone in. Behind on a few things.

Thumbs Up: I get to see zero for a few hours tomorrow evening, assuming his plane is on time.
Thumbs Down: He's heading right back out of Chicago/US tomorrow night for a week during which time I don't get to talk to him.

Thumbs down: I still don't make quite enough to live comfortably on my own, still no luck finding a roommate and my current living conditions are starting to become unbearable.

Thumbs Up: Les Mis! It was gorgeous and although I was confused by some things that happened (it's not like the movies...no text on the screen letting you know it jumped a decade), I understood enough to be really moved by it. I'm very happy I went.

Thumbs Down: Asked an older woman to take a picture for/of me and zero and she took so long, we had to put the camera away because you weren't supposed to have any inside. I wasn't trying to steal industry secrets, geez. It ended up with me not getting any pictures of us. Kinda sucks. Feels like going to prom and not getting to take a picture at the prom, or at least I imagine it does.


Thumbs Up: Played with a kitten today. Sort of. Mostly I just looked at it trying to sleep and it let me look at it.

Thumbs Down: I miss my puppies.

Thumbs Up: He finally said it was okay to share pictures if I have them of the both of us.
Thumbs...Whatever: I'm probably the only one excited by this.
