My best day that I can think of:
While on the cruise, I had a first-class room, so there was a balcony. The heat and humidity were unbelievable but I quickly got used to it, so I would spend a great deal of time outside watching the ocean fly by, rippling under the sun. I brought two books with me, Speaker for the Dead and Shadow of The Hegemon, both by Orson Scott Card. Reading Speaker while sipping a coke 'on-the-rocks' near the Yucatan Peninsula was very pleasureable indeed.
My worst day I can think of:
At school, on top of mounting pressure to finish an english paper after the deadline (it's this stupid beurocratic system we have here, called portfolios, various projects that not only have to get good grades but must 'meet the standard.' If they don't meet the standard then we don't graduate. Trouble is, every porftfolio piece I worked on in English my teacher apparently lost, so that kinda puts me in the screwhole) I went to lunch, after forgetting money, and had to purchase a crappy one with a ticket. While nabbing some silverware, I spilled the food all over my pants.
Also, on the day of the science fair in eighth grade I had
So, when I got to school after having a tooth pulled I could hardly muffle a word to anyone, my teacher screamed at me for having a bad project (which I kinda deseved...I was more of a slacker in elementary school), which lead me to actually create a good poster while everyone else was setting up theirs, the teacher and I wary of each others anger and not really speaking to each other.
So howsabout you 'people?'
