The Greatest Day Ever Is Upon Me...

...for two reasons:

1) I got accepted to USF! I got my CSET results back the other night and then two days later I got an email saying I start my masters/credential program at the end of January. Only 1 1/2 months away.

2) I found out that Spoon's new album, "Transference", comes out two weeks ahead of schedule on January 19th. And so far it sounds amazing.

Two days ago I got a series of emails that ambiguously told me I may (or may not have) passed the necessary tests, so I've been hesitantly passing the news on. Today, only two days after my application was fully received (which included SCREEN CAPTURES as my weak proof that I passed the CSET), I got an email saying I was accepted to USF. This is such a relief, as I've been stressing over those four tests since I found out I had to take them back in July. Although I could have retaken any of the tests again if I failed, it would have meant that I wouldn't have been able to start school until a year from now. Instead, there's no downtime, and I only have to figure out my next month, not my next year.

And then, as a generous amount of icing on the cake, I find out that my favorite band of the decade has a new album coming out two weeks sooner than I expected! There's no band as consistent and awesome as Spoon. Accessible and familiar, but completely elusive to description (seriously, try to do it). One of the few artists that still writes albums instead of singles, and know that immortality is built on their next move and not their last.

Anyways, to quote the Cube: "Today was a good day."
