Serendipity and Misfortune

I had scheduled dinner with my boss, her friend whom I also work with, and her son and his wife whom I also work with. We had a great time! Laughed about the usual stuff, talked a little politics, and exchanged stories. At the beginning though, Kim (my boss) handed out presents to Sandy (her friend) and I. First, in the card she gave me an iTunes gift card- I was pretty ecstatic about that seeing as how I've wanted to shop for music for so long but was too broke to. But in the gift bag was also a book, "The Purpose Driven Life." I was pretty thrilled about that as well. I hadn't ever really considered reading the book before when it first came out/became popular but now... now I've changed so much since then, I'm really excited to read it. Perhaps what originally turned me off to it was that so many deeply religous people were reading it and where I come from that usually meant Christian and where I'm from Christians are not the ones you generally look up to. However, the Christian that gave me this book is definitely a role model. I know why she bought be this book. It's because it's a book about that middle ground that her and I share: spirituality. Although we may rationalize things a little different, we do share really similar beliefs.

As soon as I arrived home though, my mood quickly went from joyful to livid. I come home to Nico upset about how his review went. The only thing that I could think and am thinking of is how I'm going to have a word with his reviewers if those inconsiderate, vicious cunts don't pass his fucking brilliant portfolio.
One of the worst parts is, none of this would have happened if Nick's teacher would have stayed as one of his reviewers.
