Un petit cadeau

another day come and gone.

i feel like things are happening quicker than ever.

this defines most of my day

this morning i decided to figure out the number of steps it would take from the jkb door to the library door. 

my guess was 45, turns out it's 66. 

i planned on beating my score on the way back and thus proceeded to walk back taking abnormally long steps, and then realized i was in public. 

good job. 

so i ran the rest like a fool. 

when i write papers i minimize everything
just to make myself feel good about how much i've written
boom

i received an email from the mckay school of education today.

usually i hate those because it's pointless information.

turns out i made it onto the Dean's List. 

i'm not bragging, i'm just super proud of myself...

hard work pays off people, even if it's just having your name on a list. 

recognition feels good. 

i shared this information with my good friend lucas who was quite happy until he made the connection that since he is studying something in the humanities department he may never be on the Dean's List. according to him everyone studies that stuff.

i'm an elementary education major...hello! 

he then whispered to me in his excellent french "anyhow, it's only the indians and asians who get that recognition." 

silly boy. 

i. love. prof. olivier. 

i walk into class late today: 

"salut!!! un petit cadeau!!" as he hands me a quiz. 

he makes me beyond happy. 

also, he stole my joke today. i'm not bitter at all, on the contrary i'm quite flattered:)

people think he's funny, but he gets it from me. 

speaking of happiness, it can all be found in this little clip. 

i laugh out loud every time! 

i must start renting these and watching them again.

story of my happy little childhood.

when i agree with things i say "mmmm" 

(aka that's so great i could eat it)

i did that way too many times in my french literature class today.

also i forgot all of my mtc papers at home today. 

since i live a minute away i decided to be lazy and call my room mate who kindly took pictures of my documents and messaged them to me.

huzzah for cell phones and technology. 

tomorrow will be a hap-happy day. 

everyday can be one if we just choose to make it that way.

in some wise words i came across a while ago: 

"life is too short and unpredictable not to live it exactly as you please"

i hope your exact intentions are to be happy and treat each day like an adventure and a blessing.
