Hulloo thar fellow FH'ers!

We've all seen the posts that people have made where things arn't going well and we all know how awful it is when someone you like/admire from a forum is in the crap and there really is nothing you can do about it aside from post something conveying your feelings, so I thought I'd be different and post a small sucess tale, it's really nothing major but it's a good thing and i'd like to share it and hope that you in turn will share some tales of your own, I think occasionally it's nice to hear about fortunes rather than misfortunes.

I have had a rather good week this week:

Monday: had group selection interview at the local supermarket (why is this a good thing?? well my job atm is crap and i cant do it anyway because of my hand injury)

Tuesday: had college interview and was awarded a placement on a full time course that i wanted to do in september.

Wednesday: went for final interview at supermarket, when i got home i got a phone call to tell me i had te job (again why is this so great?? well its a night shift job which means i'll be able to study and work, its less hours than my curent job but its the same pay aaand its right next to my house so save money on travel and no more 40min journeys to/from work) also farscape: peacekeeper wars was on so i had 3 hours of sci fi.

Thursday: in about 1hr 20mins i am going to the store for my induction and to find out what job i will be doing.



Yes through all the brimstone and hail that we have to contend with and when you feel that events are just conspiring against you, sometimes you get a day (or in this case a few days) where the fates seem to stop scowling and start smiling and you have to sit and think to yourself "Hmm maybe i should buy a lotto ticket this week".

Anyone else have any annecdotes about good things that have happened? i'd love to hear them :cheers:

My teacher was sick, so me and a couple of friends bought some alcohol and drank it.. so we were all tipsy and stuff.. so we went back to school for our last hour.. and that teacher became crazy because of us :p, then went over to a friends place to sober up.. which eventually had me going home with a clear head but with the knowledge what we did :D

I got my first vacation placement at a nice big law firm on tuesday, which was awesome.
Got an interview request for an even bigger one in a few weeks, which is also exciting!
Got a first in a property essay which was nice.
Also, which I find most exciting, I bought a stopwatch, which means, I time myself working. So when I'm gaming etc, I see the stopwatch and it motivates me to do work. Also makes me work more, which is good :D
I can see the stopwatch now :(
I have to do another 2 hours today :(
