Best Day Ever (746 words)
This one started well but wound up with a fairly predictable conclusion that lacked a bit of "oomph". A few typos impacted your score as well.
Score = 76
Big giant hairy note: The word counter shows this article as 760 words which would normally incur a penalty. I have found that the colon in each of the times has impacted the word count, i.e. 8:00am is counted as two words, while 800am is counted as one word. I don't believe this is worthy of a penalty but I strongly recommend that you thoroughly check your submissions in the official word counter going forward to rule out the chance of any penalties being applied.

The fight of my life (738 words)

Pearcing the Veil (739 words)
You appear to have a great deal of affection for commas which made this one a little difficult to read. Despite that, you've been able to achieve the often tricky balance of criticism and support at the same time - if only there were more posters like you in the discussion forums.
