Overall a 6.
I am thoroughly enjoying school, glad I went back, Profs telling me I should stay for a PhD since they think I have the potential to do some good research. On the day to day its more like an 8.

I have a fiance(e?) that I love. But she is having some serious anxiety issues so thats hard. I have terrible credit and I'm paying off that bad debt. Mistakes I made years ago haunt me nearly daily in that regards but I did get accepted for Flexcar which required a credit check and did get a CC offer (which I did not take) but I haven't gotten one in eons. I am currently job hunting. Had one on-site interview Friday, another tomorrow and two more in a couple weeks. If I get an offer and everything goes through smoothly I will be in the 8-9 region. If I get an offer and it is rescinded due to my poor credit I will probably have a nervous breakdown and be in the 0-1 category. Only time will tell.

Bah, I shouldn't complain as I've got life about as easy as could be expected, but still... there has to be something wrong when I just randomly take off at midnight to drive to Toledo for no apparent reason like I did last week - about an 8 hour round trip.

Everyone talks about their wife and girlfriend(s) in this thread, which I don't have to worry about since I've never had either, so I can't really say there - is that a measure of your life? I guess I fail at that one.

School is ok, but I'm pretty unmotivated (until this week since everything's due at once), and working full-time is a pain since the guys at work are such whiners (there I go, whining about the whiners!) There's nothing for me to worry about financially since school is paying me to come and coop work is paying me as well, so I've got some savings going. What should I save for, though? THAT is the question.

Anyway, all I can say is if I didn't have the hope of a better life in heaven after this one, I'd probably just kill myself now and get it over with. That seems like a strange paradox, but it really isn't.

So, what's the conclusion? The present isn't too inspiring, maybe a 2-3. The near-future is foggy, with some possibilities that seem unattainable yet may come to be (and I want to come to be), and the distant future holds the hope of eternity with the Lord. I guess I can't complain.

Things have been pretty darn good for me the past few months. Probably an 8 or a 9. I've really got nothing to complain about.

I don't do my homework so it's more stressful but I still have nail marks on my back from this weekend.

A solid 8 with room for improvement in the family/work areas.

Of course, that could quickly change depending the results of my psychopharmacology final exam tomorrow.

5. I suck at school. My grades are ><.

Got friends though, and that makes life fun at least.. Taking a break from girls for now so it's not too bad.

Strangely enough all this started to happen when E equals MC2 stopped playing video games altogether...

What does he have to do w/your happiness?

oh.. using ATOT to come out of the closet? :Q

5 - 8

When I first get up, it's about a 5, a 6 by the time I get to work, about a 7 by 10:00, and then back on form at 8 by lunch.

i was gonna say 9, but after reading the responses probably higher, I guess I got used to what I have.
