cherryToday, upon returning home from school and work, I found three things of glee in my mailbox.
1) My new issue of Discover magazine. It is a magazine that makes me happy. I've never read a Chatelaine or a Redbook or a Cosmo -- and I'm pretty sure I couldn't, not without experiencing some sort of narcoleptic fit -- but I sure do love my science/technology magazines.
No, I'm not like the other girls.
2) A postcard from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thefourthvine. Thank you! I don't know what a "daughter of the regiment" is either, but I wouldn't want to meet her alone at night in a dark alley. Swords just instill that reaction in me.
3) A letter from the Dean's Office in Engineering. You, dear reader, might recall that I had an awful, no good, terrible, very bad year, but: I made the Dean's Honour Roll. In Engineering. SQUEEEE!

(A son/daughter of the regiment is usually the child of a dead member, whose education/expenses are met by the regiment.)

Good to know, thanks! She looked all het up to go, so I really wasn't sure.

Date: 2006-06-14 09:38 pm (UTC)You've always had a bit more confidence in me than I've had in myself, though. This is possibly not health.
But! HEEE! *twirls*
