The Best Day Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had an absolute screamer of a day. I have been bouncing off the walls.

It all started pretty ordinarily, the alarm went off 4 times before I managed to kick my husband out of bed to deal with the kids. I went back to sleep blissfully unaware that he also had fallen back to sleep in the lounge room and school time was rapidly approaching. "OH SHIT!!!!" I hear bellowed from afar, waking me with a start. It was 8:45am and we had but 15 minutes to get ready, out the door and to school. By some miracle, the time when we got in the car was 8:51am (I think there is a difference between the car clock and the bedroom clock because 5 year olds just do NOT get dressed that fast). We race off to school, me in my daggies and Emily still in PJs, drop off the boy - thankfully we beat the bell so I didn't have to get out of the car Phew. Drop David at uni and Emmy and I went home for what was supposed to be a relatively uneventful day.

Before we go any further I must remind you that this is not a normal week, this is the week that my GAMSAT results are due. I have been on a knife's edge and have developed an insane OCD tendency of checking my email every 2 minutes. Today was no different; the moment I got home I tore into the computer room to check the email and Paging Dr for any news. Nothing. I was once again disappointed. I start on the housework. Put on a load of washing, checked the computer, brought the washing in, checked the computer, hung more washing out checked the computer. Still no email. Hop on Paging Dr, what's this???? Some one has posted their results!!! Heart starts pumping, check email again....Nothing, check Paging Dr again, more people with results, but where is mine? About to burst into tears and fearing the worst (that I hadn’t even qualified to get a score as I had done so badly) I begin to read......emails not sent yet.......results are available.......someone has found the link!!!........follow it, log in and get your results. I froze. Do I really want to see? This could be the end on the dream; maybe I am better off being blissfully unaware. That last all of 2 seconds and I scream OH MY GOD OH MY GOD (Emily was probably very confused at this point wondering what was wrong with mummy) I log in. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got 67!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All sections passed and I got 67!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(This is top 10% for all those not fluent in GAMSAT scores, great score; I can get an interview practically anywhere)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

These screams aren't me trying to dramatise it, I was actually screaming.

The next hour passed in a flurry of phone calls, text messages and forum posts. I was so high.
I baked cookies to celebrate.

The next good thing was a phone call. David rang to say that he had just spoken to his mother and they were only going to charge us $150 a week rent for David's grandfather house as that is all he needs to cover his expenses. Cool! We had just been freaking out last night about how we are going to survive financially with the move then this falls out of the sky (it is times like this I love being a belrite)

After this I had to go to uni to tutor a girl in physics. I know it sounds boring but I haven't tutored physics before so I was a little unsure of myself but everything went really well. And I got $50 bucks for my troubles. Perfect considering that we needed some groceries and petrol.

Then I had to go to work. Such is life.

Here is the results curve so you can see for yourself how brilliant I am.
