10 things that made me happy this week . . .

1. i currently have the highest grade in my math class, which is amazing considering that at the beginning of the semester i was afraid i would barely pass the class . . . .
2. my right to vote.
3. re-reading a favorite book.
4. the ability to disagree without disliking.
5. the passing of proposition 8.
6. "brisk" weather.
7. winning the affection of a decidedly NON-affectionate cat.
8. that feeling you get when you realize you don't HAVE to . . . .
9. a messy bun/ponytail + a headband/scarf ends up looking glamorous on me (instead of lazy, which is what it really is).
10. living through significant moments in history.
