Good news for Jake

Well, I just found out what's going to happen to me with my exams...at this point...

I'M EXEMPT FROM ALL MY EXAMS!!!

As far as I know, I'm exempt, I don't have to take a one, and I think I'm getting a new guitar for Christmas! (I need to start hunting for a Rickenbacker Rose Morris RI!)

Yesterday, snow hit Louisiana, and it was nice, until it froze the power lines, which meant no electricity. A lot of trees were down on my driveway, and with my dad away on a business trip, my mom and I had no one to chain saw us out...until my dad's friend came and saved the day. On the way to dinner, I stopped by the post office to get the mail, and in the mail, I got a package from Amazon.com for The Who Live at Kilburn 1977!

It's good news for Jake...man, it feels SOOOO good! :)

Well, based on what you've been wishing for, wouldn't you rather be getting a used guitar for Christmas? :mrgreen:

Jake, I can only hope that the "I think" in your post becomes "I know"!
