My bad day started off with forgetting that I had a doctor appointment. It was hot and humid out so I really didn’t want to go out. Then there was a very long wait in the waiting room. Then the tide turned, a gentleman offered me his chair so I could finally sit down. Then I got my results back from the last time. I am still OK, no Multiple Myleoma yet. Have another three month appointment so I am good until then.

Also, I am a confirmed e-mail subscriber!

Yay! I just followed you on Twitter (@huma_rashid) when one of my friends tweeted about this. As for my bad day that ended up being pretty, it was about two years ago, the day of my Property law final during my first year of law school. Property law is NOTORIOUSLY difficult and our professor was a rambling, ex-Marine jackass who made everything 10x more difficult than it had to be. And the subject matter is already really hard. The exam was on a drizzly day, and he said it was a 4 hour exam. He lied. It was more like a 6 hour exam, and that was if you knew your stuff. As far as exams went, it was more like an 8 hour exam with all the planning and stuff you needed to do.

I sat down, answered 60 difficult paragraph long (some were PAGES long) multiple choice questions, and then moved on to the 8 essays. After that many MC questions, most professors only give 2-4 essays. This genius gave us 8. I wrote from the first minute to the last minute, and finished exactly on time with no time to edit or check answers or anything. It was grueling, exhausting, and some of it was just tedious (thankfully! that was what kept me from shooting myself in the face!). And then I got on the train home with my law school BFF and it rained the whole way there, and I was exhausted but happy to be done, so I was operating at a 5 on the happiness scale.

Then I got home, and it was one of our two religious holidays that day, so when I got home the whole table was covered in my mom’s amazing food and our house was full of people that I generally liked and I spent the rest of the evening playing Wii bowling. And then I was at about an 8 or 9 on the happiness scale, because at that point I was pretty sure I ACED that stupid exam.

So, yes. Bad day that turned out pretty well. 🙂

Although I applaud the acumen of your publisher or whoever chose the cover art for your book, I’m afraid putting my visage on the cover would only cause your book sales to flat-line. 🙂

PCN and Sophie, have you two considered going on the road together with a stand-up routine? I’m like Sophie in her pre-kick-ass state, but I’m hoping to undergo an osmotic metamorphosis of sorts through reading the Bad Day for… books.

Sophie, I love Dog, your son sounds very kind-hearted, and your daughter is a hoot.

Well this interview made my afternoon. I’d like to put my 2 cents in for a prequel to Stella when you get the chance sometime this millenium. I have a completely huge favor of you Sophie and PCN, I have school on the 19th when you’re signing at The Mystery Bookstore. Think you could write me an excuse to get of class? I’d much rather be talking Stella than Kafka. Ooh maybe I can just buy my Prof a signed copy of Pretty—yeah that should work. You two are quite the Thelma and Louise of the blogosphere. Kudos!

Don’t know where you fit in, Sophie. You may have the mouth of a trucker, but these ladies were NOT attractive. You can’t be my college roommate, Bruce, unless you are lying about your gender and your picture was severely airbrushed. But you have my permission to make it your own. Hell, add a zombie or two!

Glad you liked it (HEAR THAT PCN??)

I love these contests!
