For the next week, I'd like to challenge each of you to keep a list of at least one thing that brought you happiness each day. Be sure to link up here once you've posted your list! (This isn't a blog hop so please only link up if you've participated by posting your happy list. Thanks!)
~I'm happy because...
I went to dinner with a friend this week!
I got a fabulous gift in the mail from Katie!
We've had beautiful weather the last few days!
I got my free stuff from Bath & Body Works for the month!
I got my taxes done and am getting a refund!
I got a $300 check from the insurance company to pay for damages to my vehicle!
I made plans with a friend for coffee! Really looking forward to it because we don't get to talk to or see each other very often.

So I didn't post yesterday because I didn't have a great day for a variety of reasons. I just wasn't feeling the positive vibes I usually get from HFF so I skipped it. Plus my computer was having issues that I just wasn't up to dealing with. Got it fixed though and seem to be back to feeling like my normal self again!
I had a test in Government on Wednesday which I studied for. I thought I did really well and was pleased with myself. And then...yesterday I went to class and got my grade back. I thought for sure I got at least an 85% or maybe higher. Oh no, I only got a 70%!!! Soooooo disappointed! My parents both know I had a test and they keep asking me when I'll get it back. I'm afraid to tell them I didn't do well because they'll both lecture me endlessly about how I need to take advantage of this opportunity, study more and don't I want to do well? and on and on and on. Ugh! I have a test on Monday and two on Friday - not even gonna mention those to them. I don't want to have to explain why I didn't do well if I don't get high scores. I don't even live with them and they still make me feel like I'm back in high school sometimes...
8 showed me some love:
YAY for a tax refund!!!
You did lots of good things on friday!
Happy Saturday!
Kisses and hugs

Oh your parents sound so much like my mother.. I always regret telling her any details or timelines. So I wouldn't tell them either. :-) & don't be too hard on yourself.. it's will get better. I personally would probably Freeze on a test at my age. I am so proud of you girl!!!
Great happy list too!! I know what you mean though, about having to be in the HFF mood. I've struggled with that several times, just since the first of the year. I didn't get around to it until like noon yesterday, but that's ok. :-)
Hope you're having a Great weekend, Sprinkles!!
HUGS,

Happy Saturday! Glad to hear you got some cash to fix your car. :)
And about your parents giving you a hard time - I understand, they want what's best and they want you to do well, but them bugging you about your marks likely won't help, so I would just keep it vague on the tests, you don't need the added pressure and like you said, you don't live with them, you're a grown woman! Good luck with your tests!! :) Oh and congrats on getting 70%, you passed and that should count for something. :)
Happy Friday on a Sunday.;)
I LOVE Bath and Body works, I practically lived on their lotions, cream perfumes and soaps.;) I wish i could get their products here.;)
Sorry about your test, but 70% is pretty god. We do no get graded in college, only passed or not passed. 70% is definitely passed.;)
Do not let your parents make you feel bad - you are a grown up woman and you are doing well.;) I am proud of you and admire the fact that you had the courage to go back to school, I sure could not do it.;)

Sounds like you have some things to be happy for. I got the free stuff from Bath & Body works this week too. I just discovered P.S I love you & Dancing waters.
My first law school test was a disaster... MUCH worse than 70%!! You're just warming up my friend. Hang in there. You can do this.
And happy valentines day :)
hooray for tax refunds and green papers to fix your car and free stuffs!
pretty please don't feel bad like about gettin' a 70% on your government test! look at it this way...70% = almost 3 out of 4 right. now doesn't that sound better? :)
