To be list making about it...
Pros:
-I got to talk to the person I love, which is always a good thing...
-I got my SAT scores in (really good in reading, good in writing, eek worthy (to me) in math), which made me pretty happy. All of the colleges I'm interested in take those scores, and I'm higher in some.
-Two people gave me Valentines cards (which was surprising), and another intended to.
-The Spanish test was easier than I thought (although I may not have done as well as I thought) it would be.
-Senora didn't have a heart attack ("you're too quiet!").
-It's a 4 day weekend now.
-I ordered the traditional birthday cake, plus sprinkles (yay for sprinkles; and icing too).
-I got a sheep (not for the day or anything, just because my mother saw him and knows that I like sheep) (not a real sheep, a stuffed animal one; he's adorable).
-I get to talk to the person I love again, which is always a good thing.
Cons:
-No one understood my (forced to be given; I don't volunteer) metaphor, so I had to explain it (and still no one got it).
-The card that someone got me ended up not being delivered; it didn't bother me (I hadn't expected one anyway), but it really made her upset, and I couldn't get across that it was ok with me.
-Naturally, I didn't get anything for the people who gave me cards (which I should have planned for, now that I think about it, because they gave me Christmas cards), which I felt bad about.
-The "master carpenter" that is my group project member is taking home our project to work on over the weekend, despite being told that we all ready met the requirements for the next check and the fact that I said no, we shouldn't. (She's not a master carpenter; she just thinks she is.)
-I thought for a moment that I had given the Spanish teacher a heart attack; I guess she didn't hear me (I said Senora), and when she looked up, she jumped, gasped, and put her hand to her heart immediately.
And the Heather doesn't know where to put it list:
-People were being unusually nice.
So, overall, the pros outweigh the cons; it's a fairly good day.
