Joie de vivre

I took the ACT this morning, and I have a feeling that I'm going to make some people mad at me, but I ENJOYED it. I've always liked tests where you fill in the little bubbles. The only bad part was getting done 10-15 minutes ahead of time on each test and having to just sit there. And the funnies bit was hearing the rules read before each and every test and being told again and again that (paraphrasing savetheolives), "If you so much as touch your booklet before I tell you to, you will be taken out and summarily executed!" Bwaha.

Hopefully I can find out the scores tomorrow. I think they'll be pretty good. I thought the test was easier then the practice ones I'd been working on.

Afterwards mom and I spend the afternoon shopping (my loot: a book by the jug-of-wine/loaf-of-bread/and-thou guy [Omar what'shisname, that guy!], a nice shirt, comfortable and stylish shoes, and a lovely little strand of pearls), and eating out, and searching for a bookstore-that-wasn't-there and having lovely mother-daughter time. I like my mom, especially on the days like this when we really truely relate as adults. And it makes me feel so good that she honestly enjoys doing things like this with me, as if I were her best girlfriend. *hugs her mommy*
