My father has been away for 7 years and the only contact I've had with him was the occasional phone call and 1 two hour visit a couple years ago. He'll be back in a couple weeks but today he called me and he'd back in time for my 15th birthday. For the first time in my life, I cried tears of happiness. The prospect of my dad coming home MMD

Today I finally went to the college near by to talk to the graduate student adviser for physics. I have a BA in Japanese and decided I wanted to change. I learned that I will be able to take a few classes at a community college and be considered for the masters program. I will get the chance to be an astrophysicist. IMMD and hopefully my life.

This morning I couldn't find my credit card and I was going to get donuts for myself and my mom on the way to work. Feeling dejected and worried, I got into work and a co-worker that I don't get along too well beckoned me over and handed me a McDonald's sausage biscuit. It not only MMD, but probably warmed up our working relationship.

Last year, I filled out a mound of papers, waited four months to be interviewed for the local "Big Borthers/ Big Sister's"program, where you act as a sibling to a yound child. I learned his name and get to meet him on Tuesday. Knowing I get to have a little brother totally MMD!
