So there I was...
Laying on my couch in some kind of cough syrup induced coma-misery...
Feeling sorry for myself because I'd been in the welding lab all afternoon trying to lay down some of the welds that failed their I-CAR inspection...for $55 I was really hoping, and truly confident that they'd pass...but no...
Then...I let the upset overflow into the fact that I'm probably not coming home for xmas/my birthday
When He called. I could hear all the voices in the background, he was at his bar.
Then someone asked who he was talking to and when he told them, they started grabbing for the phone and passing it around so everyone could say hi. I gotta tell you...I felt pretty loved right then. And my bad mood quickly slipped away...especially since they sounded so excited to hear that I'd be attending the xmas party this weekend.

Today...I headed back to the welding lab for another try. Still no good.
I suppose I could be all upset about it, but I'm just not.
I was upset last night...and then I remembered...that shit doesn't mean anything anyway. My welds work...but they're not always pretty. Unfortunately I-CAR is really picky about the way the welds look.
Besides, it doesn't mean I'm retarded or that I can't weld. All it means was I couldn't hit a weld. Fine. I'll practice some more and then try again. And if it doesn't happen, I'll try it again. No biggie.
Headed back to class to take my final for my drivetrain class. I didn't study at all...still got a perfect score. That's another A for yours truly. I didn't get the student of the course award, but that's cool too, since I don't think I deserved it anyway, despite my high class grades. The judgement is really based on the lab anyway.
So I tore out of the parking lot at 10:45am.
Now I'm home...having a beer, and yes, it's still before noon, but I'm celebrating. Drivetrain is over, and I passed. I'm going to get my certification to buy and work on a/c where there is a lot of money to be had.
Once I finish this here cerveza...I'm going to get to work on my chores...clean myself...clean my clothes...pack for my amazing party!!!
Monday I start my first of five structural classes. I have two very hard and very strict teachers...for a very hard stretch of classes.
But that's Monday...let's not think on Monday yet...let's just fucking party!!!

Go nuts at the Christmas party. That's what those fuckers are for. And if free booze is involved.... woah.
