Getting email. Granted, I received about 6-7 from myself (emails I had sent to email lists I'm on), but it's always exciting to open the inbox and see 5 new emails from friends saying that they will, in fact, come to my hobbit party on Friday. In other words, they don't think I'm dumb!

Learning and then playing poker until 2 in the morning, using Cheerios as betting chips, with a bunch of people you've only just met and having a great time.

Also, Cheerios! Who knew they were so nice?

Silmaril

Getting a high score in a supposedly killer exam given by a supposed terror prof. For Biology. Which makes me feel, sort of, that I'm really in the right course. Somehow, hearing my classmates tell me that they hate me didn't sound so bad.

Being surprised at the end of an ordinary day by something, something that made me smile for the rest of the night a smile so wide it hurt.

Rockapella. Those guys are pretty good... or at least the songs my sister's got from them. Kinda make me smile after a stressful day.

Having one of the kids you were volunteering with stop you on the street to say hi. And most importantly, one kid that you wondered at times if he liked you or not. I might have done a better job over there than what I thought after all!!

Lie ins! First one for a week.

Also, finding out that the rest of your hall is as nerdy as you are, and spending the evening watching First Contact, discussing RPGs and arguing over whether the Enterprise would beat a star destroyer in a fight.

Everyone knows a Star Destroyer would win- those things are battleships, pure and simple, with no other real purpose. Well armed as the Enterprise might be, it's more of a multi-purpose vessel. Also, the Star Destroyer is close to twice the Enterprise's length, if I recall correctly.

Erm... Anyways...

The REAL reason I'm visiting this thread is to assign today's peanut-butter cookies to the Shire. I can't recall the last time I had a cookie half so good. Moist, crumbly, and FULL of peanut-buttery taste... simply divine!

I already had four... and I still want more.

The sort of professor that lets you sit brooding in his office for a few hours, moping and feeling utterly sorry for yourself, being both hypochondriac extraordinaire and moody English Major, and then laughs at you.
