A Great Day

Today will go down in Fenrisian history as a great day. One of the great days amongst great days, but a great day nonetheless. As is traditional, every other less great day of great days will be less desirable than this one, so I can safely bet that someday will not be quite as great and thus perpetuate the myth of...well...jinxing when talking about great days.

But that is irrelevant. I must first record what greatness happened on this great day of greatness. First, and most important to me, I bought a flash unit. Not just any flash unit. The high end wireless capable version that I've been drooling over. Now, being the stereotypical student photographer wanabe on a budget, I really couldn't go right out there and buy the danged thing. Simply beyond my means. So I settled for second best: A secondhand flash, only that it's the wireless-incapable version of it. But when I met the seller...it turns out he only had the higher end one. The mind boggled. How much? Only a bit more. SOLD! And now, by sheer accident...here the flash is. It is...beautiful.

The second is comparatively minor, but no less important. My thesis research has finally been approved. That means I can finally get to work on the data collection process, though at this point my data collection's already complete. Oh wait. Well, at least they did approve the latest version of my questionnaire, which I slipped to them. Ok I did not just say that. I totally played by the book, for it is the Fenrisian way.

Right, then. And then my friend's package arrived. At least a notice of the package. I'm not sure what it is, so I'll reserve irrationally intense joy for that fine moment tomorrow.

Unlife...is...good...
