After dreary weather, depressing tests, and unexpected encounters, today has seriously been the best day of the entire year. I'm being completely serious in saying that it could not get any better than this.
So the University of Connecticut women's basketball team beat their arch-rivals Rutgers in the Regional Finals last night, which I would normally be happy about. Instead, I'm psyched about it. My dad said that if UConn did win in the finals, then he would take me to Tampa to go to the 2008 Final Four. Well, they won, so I'll be gone for this weekend and part of next week to watch the women dominate the competition and reclaim their post as National Champions. I rarely ever leave New England, and have only been to Florida twice before, so this is like Christmas to me. Seriously, really really awesome.
I got my SAT scores back today as well. I've been worrying for the past month as to whether or not I did good, probably because of the horrible response that I gave on the essay portion of the Writing. People kept telling me that "I'd do fine" and that "you need not worry". Well, I did do a crappy job in the essay; I got a 66%, as a matter of fact. However, overall I got a score of 1890, even better than I had done on the PracticeSATs. So that's definitely something to holler about. I actually hollered too, when I read those scores. So much pressure off of my back it's indescribable. Or... maybe it is describable. The feeling is wonderful.
To top it all off, I've had little-to-no homework every single day this week, which is always an occasion to celebrate. Squee!
So tonight I'll chat with my best, eat some Pringles and watch American Idol in order to see who gets voted off. So yeah, suddenly all that "storm and stress" stuff from last week is fading away... Although it will come back, believe me. It always does.
Even still, I'm going to squeeze every single drop out of these awesome moments.
Carpe diem, people! Carpe diem.
