Sometimes you just need to make a list of everything that's going right in your life to remind yourself that life really does rock.
- friends calling and text messaging to offer love and support
- a boyfriend who takes such good care of me
- Rector and RA who genuinely take an interest in my life and want to help
- lots more events during weekends on campus this semester- Ragtime, Chinese New Year Celebration, Brazilian carnival
- (slowly) learning how to dance and look good while doing it
- pierogi at the dining hall
- throwing my first party (dedicated to happiness and love, not drinking)
- feeling like the songs I'm playing for guitar class are actually sort of pretty
- having enough self-discipline to sleep at normal hours and not waste weekends sleeping
- lots of apples-to-apples playing
- random memories about special people in my life (Mr. Bird making fun of the afternoon announcements girl, who liked to yell into the microphone and scare him)
- singing the salve regina when no one's in my room
- feet of snow, and jumping in huge piles of it
- Joey finding a latin translation attributed to our deceased and dearly loved latin teacher on a polish website
- lovely pictures sent via cell phone from my mom
- quiet library space and time to get work done.
