Best. Day. Ever.

EEEEeeee!!!! Today has been one of the most happy-making days of my life for three reasons:

1. I finally graduated! As of today, I hold a Bachelor of Teaching in Early Childhood. I graduated from the number 1 university in the country, and I am the first person in my family to get a degree. Hell, I was the first person in my family to finish high school. So, I'm feeling pretty damn pleased with myself.















2. I found out I got that job!!! It was my very first interview ever and I got it! (Incidentally, Evil Brother is both jealous and pissed, because he's been for 7 interviews recently and got fuck all - yay!) So anyway, as of January 9, I am a head teacher in a pre-school/long day care centre - I will manage my own classroom, and have minions assistants to do my bidding help me. I never thought I'd get a job right off the bat - I was so excited, I madly phoned everyone to tell them. Boo yah!!! I rock. Oh yeah, baby, I rock so hard right now. *shakes booty in excitement*

3. I received a package from [livejournal.com profile] maverick4oz. Commence fannish squeeing. SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Oh my God, Mav, you are the best, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I am now in possession of SGA Season 2 eps, when Season 2 doesn't air here until next year (yay!!), as well as 'Thought Crimes' and 'Traders' (OMG, I finally get to see the 'love gulps'!) and some other things I haven't had a chance to look at yet because of my busy day. I also got SGA trading cards and Mav-made magnets and key-chains (which I am so impressed and in love with), and a gay smut address book which cracks me up. Hugs and smooches to you Mav - you totally made Christmas come early for me, and it's definitely the best present I'll get. You are wonderful - from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!!!! :-D

And all this in just one day! I love my life.

ETA: Fixed the pic screw up, you should be able to see them now.

Congratulations, it's so cool you found a job right after graduating! Erin RULES!
But I can't see the pictures, man. It says I'm not authorised or something and I guess it has to do with my Internet connection - I've been getting this kinda shit with other things on the web too. Could you mail them to me pls? I really wanna see you.
Again: ERIN RULES!
ERIN RULES!
