The Good News Thread: I'm So Excited! And I Just Can't Hide It!

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Literally nobody else will have seen it but I stayed up super late to watch this and I have to share

 

Spoiler

disclaimer: I haven't watched football or soccer in almost a year and only decided to watch this on a whim. So worth it though.

I have obtained a cloak.  It's dark green, wool blend, ruana style.  I'm so excited for it to get cold/rainy enough for me to wear it!

Apparently I'm a National Merit Semifinalist now! That's pretty exciting!

Nice. Congradulations on making it. Are you done or can you go further?

I have a good shot at being a finalist (15,000/16,000 semifinalists become finalists) and then decent chances of getting a pretty great scholarship depending on where I decide to go to school. So I'm pretty happy

I will wish you luck and ask again in February, as long as I don't forget.

Currently in the middle of rebuilding my library, and more importantly getting a better setup for a Sandershelf, and just from sorting I think I’m going to need a couple more shelves to be safe since I want to leave some empty space for growth purposes.

In the picture the short shelf I’m planning on having be my Sandershelf with the wall space to hang my Bridge 4 poster and my Kickstarter goodies on top of the shelf.

This is all work in progress since I’m mixing movies and books with this setup. So far I’m going to keep all Doctor Who stuff on one bookcase, all comics/manga together, all Marvel films together, etc. so it’s going to take me some time to finish this.

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Wow, you have some lovely bookshelves! Very stylish <3

Thank you! They’re Billy’s from IKEA. I wanted a contrast between the regular sized ones with the thin ones and having my Sanderson shelf be in the middle opposite the door made sense. I have another small bookshelf not showing in the picture that I’m going to put my comics/manga on.

I’m hoping to be done with all this before Halloween since I got delayed thanks to my dad being a nuisance around the house. All the placements are in flux as well since I’ll find more of certain stuff that might need a different shelf to be on. I actually might get another shelf later but I’ll have to do delivery since my car is too small to pick it up and too heavy for me to lift without help. I can assemble it myself, it’s just hauling it is the problem.

[Robin Sedai she/her]

I dug out our old electric clippers and buzzed my hair. It's so short now XD Half a centimeter, tops.

MY COMPUTER ISN'T DEAD! I had a big scare a minute ago where it was lagging and I was like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH"

[Just a Lifetime he/him]

Walking down the street this afternoon, I did a double take, thinking: Is that Brandon Sanderson?  A quick check confirmed that he and I are both in NYC this weekend, by complete coincidence.  So that was fun.

I don’t have to go to school today! Reason: some guy hit and ran when I was in the car waiting for my mom at Walmart. But! The car’s fine, and I’m pretty sure I’m fine, and I don’t have to go to school!
