A belated entry for yesterday, since my laptop had to be taken over to OTS to be fixed...
I had a very successful grocery shopping excursion. I got everything on my list, plus a few extra things (including my very own tea pot!) and still came in two dollars under budget!
I had my senior seminar class, and while it will definitely be hard work and the paper is due in one month (yikes!), the class actually seems like a lot of fun. Ms. Nayden and Dr. Lewis are so funny the way they play off of one another.
I actually cooked both lunch and dinner for myself with very little trouble. Lets hope this trend continues and does not devolve into grabbing granola bars!

Gratitude Journal
Ok, so it's probably been established by now that I'm a bad journaler/blogger. I very rarely update, as anyone can see.
However!
My friend Hannah just wrote a facebook note about something called a gratitude journal. The idea is that you write down 3 happy/encouraging/uplifting things about your day, every day, and by focusing on the positive aspects of your life you become happier in general over the course of time. I think this is a wonderful idea, as I feel there is far too much negativity in the world. So, hopefully this will be turning into my gratitude journal (fingers crossed!).
1) I got to see all my wonderful junior-block education classmates again at the substitute license meeting. I only had the chance to talk with a few of them, but it was nice just seeing everyone again.
2) We had our beginning-of-the-semester meeting at the Writing Center today, and Tiffany (the director) made me laugh quite a bit, as she often does. I love her sense of humor.
3) I love the spontaneity that comes with living with friends and being at college. My roommates and I (all four of us) took a walk around campus in the middle of the night, just listening to music, dancing, and laughing. Where else could you do that?
