Days 34-39

Yikes! Clearly March was a bad month for keeping my camera charged and being stressed. Lets quickly update the few March photos I have to share:

March 2: Playing Talisman with Phyl (I'm winning, that's why he's concentrating so hard).

 

March 4: The beginning of my lovely's graham cracker episode (*sigh*).

 

March 5: Evening snow.

 

March 8: Some of my lovelies excitedly changing into slippers for pajama day (faces blurred for those without signed photo releases!).

  

March 11: An organized spare room!

  

March 12: Playing bananagrams with Rachel on spring break!

 

 

 

Gratitude Journal day 6!

1) The weather outside was absolutely gorgeous this morning. Blue sky, sunny, and the perfect temperature.

2) I went to chapel for my first service of the school year. It was different without Brian, of course, but at the same time a lot was the same, and I do really like Tammy. So I think it will be a good year.

3) Chris came over to the apartment with Sunny and hung out for an hour or so, which was great, because I hadn't seen him in forever!

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?
