The Best Bad Day

Today could have been the worst day ever... it's 12:07 am, I just got home from campus, and I'm making Western Family Macaroni and Cheese for dinner. I recently spent 5.5 hours in one chair, staring at a computer screen, editing a horribly filmed movie.
Earlier in the day I had spent 2 other hours in the same chair, editing the same movie.
A girl of my dreams canceled our noon-date to the MOA (I love the MOA...)
I got a 69% on my religion test (that puts my testimony at about a C-)
I have a huge and rather hard test for my Electrical & Computer Engineering class tomorrow. Today I had no time to study for it.
I hate the library, not that it's a bad place, I just avoid going there to study. Today I spent half of my waking hours there... I think I want to cry, not even kidding.

Why wasn't today the worst day of my life?
I talked to the girl of my dreams (I know, call me a sap, but those ten minutes did make my day that much better)
I wasted an hour talking with an old friend... a good hour.
I got to talk about sailing for half an hour :-) I love sailing.
I got to iChat with my little sister K.com (she gave me some instructions on video editing)
I used Final Cut Pro on a MacPro ^_^
I am currently listening to the new Dashboard CD, eating Mac&Cheese, and talking with the ever beautiful Katherine Alice Affeltranger. w00t

I ended up with a 75% on that ECEn test, and our movie won 3 awards at our ward Oscar's night; best visual effects, best costume design, best actress, w00t

Day 3

Wednesday:Sailboats
I visited the Left Coast Development shop today, it is owned and operated by Jim Lee, aka my pointy haired boss (he's actually just mostly bald). He's a really funny and relaxed guy who decided to get into the boat building business. After one year of work they've yet to finish a boat, but they're getting close. In the mean time he's making money selling the 'Simple Stereo' which is a control box that you plug in a 12v battery, speakers, and your iPod and it plays music. Good for a car, boat, RV, or kayak (if you want to tow along a battery, which in my case is worth it for music, hehe). Anyhow, you can check out his website if you want to see picture of the boat he's building, "The Dart"

In the evening I went out with Jim in his J-35 sailboat and participated in the Anacortes Yacht Club weekly race. Jim isn't competitive since his crew consists of his wife, kids 3 (ages 15-9), and who ever he finds durring the week, but it's always fun to get out and sail. His boat is actually a racing boat and gets going quite fast. Despite only a small wind we had a great time sailing.
