So I finally sorted out my pay problems with the dumbass I mean acting manager. My epic win... I CAN FINALLY GO OUT AND BUY MY SECRET SANTA PRESENT...even though its way later than I wanted to buy it, and probably won't get to it's destination in time :( ......oh and I can also afford to pay for my own groceries for the first time in a few weeks....thats kinda cool I guess.

So not really epic win, but I have been in a good mood all day so even little things like this seem super dooper awesome!!

Hey, epic win in my book. Groceries are pretty badass, moreso when you've wrung the money from the clenched fist of upper management. Taste the taste of victory, my friend.

Not as epic as that, but I realized that one of the papers I'm citing for a project has a scientist on it with the most objectively badass name possible.

That's right. I'm citing work from Dr. Mecha-war.

(Although, in the interest of honesty, I added the hyphen)

Finally...The Nick...HAS COME BACK!...to Halifax (Nova Scotia)!

So yeah, a 6+ hour drive from Maine today. Me, my cat, and my folks made it back in one piece. And because my university is weird, I've got nearly 5 weeks off before I go back January 18th.

That's my time off too, although I have to do a lot more prep for the next term than my students do.

I just wrote and posted this on Facebook:

Hello children. Look at your Christmas tree. Now back to me. Now back to your Christmas tree. Now back to me. Sadly, your Christmas tree isn't me. But if you stop being naughty and start being nice, I will put presents under your tree. Look down. Back up. Where are you? You're on my flying sled pulled by eight reindeer with the jolly old man you want presents from. What's on your seat? Back to me. I have it...it's that red firetruck you asked for! Look again. The firetruck is now a PS3! Anything is possible with the magic of Christmas. I'm in a chimney.

My husband and brother in law went and picked out a Christmas Tree today.

I must say, they did good! This thing is effin' beautiful!

A few hours ago, I finished and posted my final quiz, the last thing I had to do in a string of about half a dozen assignments this week.

Which means I've now officially completed the first semester of my Elementary Education certificate degree.

LET THE HOLIDAYS OFFICIALLY BEGIN.

Heading back home to California tomorrow for two weeks. Spending time with family and friends, getting to eat at a bunch of places I loved to eat at growing up, and getting a couple weeks off work/lab.

Oh, and proposing to my girlfriend Wednesday. That's still on too :)

May today be the most epic of epic wins!

This is somewhere between the minor victory and epic win category, but I tallied up my grades and unless I get less than 50% on all my finals, I'll be getting all A's this semester.

This past week has been phenomenal...still hard to believe it's real.

I proposed to my girlfriend on Wednesday, on a little bluff overlooking the Pacific ocean, and she said yes. Two days later, we get an e-mail from Michigan State University's veterinary college that she's been accepted. She's been trying since 2008 to get into vet school (and was, in fact, rejected from MSU last year); to give you an idea how hard it is, it's essentially med school with only 28 schools nation wide, and there were about 1200 applicants this year for about 70 slots.

Although not nearly as epic, we also got pissed at our cell phone service for bait-and-switching us on renewing a 2-year contract before our current one's up/upgrade stuff; after threatening to cancel, we got a better plan for $20 cheaper than our current plan, both our phones upgraded, and a free month of service. After having a 'dumb' phone for so long, having the HTC Amaze is just...holy crap.

Turns out that stienman and I were WAY closer than I thought. He has turned down my offering of beer, but my offering of oysters may be more up to his speed...

My sister is pregnant. My brother-in-law called me at work to let me know I was becoming a double uncle, as my birthday gift as he would have me believe.

I'm really happy and excited, but also frightened.

32 years of family recipe gingerbread house making! = 32 years of 3rd degree burns from family recipe gingerbread house making! = 32 years of character building!

Also chicks dig scars!

I never really realized how many people cared about me until this Christmas. Out of the blue (probably thanks to Great Gift Pile event at Steam) I've already received 5 games from people I know online, all thanking me for helping them out during the year. I know this probably wouldn't have happened without the sales, but it really lifted me up this year and I needed it. I don't deserve it, but I am thankful for it.

Wedding was stressful, exhausting, and a lot more expensive than we planned on, but it went great and I no longer have to stumble through introducing my wife to people as my (and this is a fairly accurate timeline) girlfriend's roommate/friend/roommate/girlfriend/fiance. But damnit, next weekend I'm staying home and I ain't doin' jack shit.
