Good day (:

Today, has been interesting. A lot of bad things happened, when I think about the day as a whole, but as I sit here and analyze it, it seems to be different. I think it's just recognizing beauty in the small things that happen everyday.

So, here is a list of why I'm choosing to make today better than worse:

• I made it to my 9:00 this morning. That hasn't happened for a week. It is a victory.
  
• There is this boy, and I've had a crush on him for a long time. But, this crush comes and goes, depending on the day and what mood I'm in. I realized a few weeks back that I like this boy everyday, but moreso on the days when I don't want to like anything else. This boy gives me hope. Whenever I'm lonely, I think about him. Not in the creepy 'I Wish He Was Here With Me Right Now Because I Don't Have Any Friends' way, but it's more of a comfort, knowing that he admitted once, in a very subtle way, that he often feels lonely to. I like that we share the same values, and have some of the same goals. I was first drawn to how personal he is. He ran for a position in student government this week, and won. By a landslide. He asked me to help him with his campaign, and I was honored. His party made t-shirts for everyone, and I got a text from him asking me (he said my name) if I had gotten my shirt. I told him I hadn't, but I could come pick it up somewhere. He insisted on bringing it to my dorm. That's right folks: he drove to the building I live in, and called me to let me know that he was here, and my shirt was waiting outside, with him. (He would have come in, but the building is locked.) That is why he won. Because he's personable, and genuine. There was a concert tonight, and I saw him there. He came over, and gave me a high five, and asked how I was. He held on while I answered, and wished him good luck. A while after he had won, I saw him again, and he came over to me, and put his hand on my arm. I told him congratulations, and he looked at me and said thank you. And stayed there longer than any other boy probably would have. I like this boy a lot today.
• This boy, has a cute friend who is a resident assistant on one of the floors in my building. I was walking back from the concert, and he was leaving to go study. He opened the door and walked out, and then noticed I was close to the door. So he went back and held the door for me. These things stick out so much to me, you have no idea.
• The resident assistants for next year were announced today. Good news: I didn't apply. More good news: the most attractive boy at my school, got it. Even better news: I'm living off campus next year. So..if we start dating (which, I'm sure..it's only a matter of time before we do) we won't have anything in our way. (Resident Assistants and residents, or other resident assistants aren't allowed to date each other) Perfectt.
• My other best friend, E, has a birthday tomorrow. And we have the same spring break. Partyyy.

These sound little, but they're kind of a big deal. Because this is what I'm going to remember today by. And not by stupid drama, dirty new jeans, and a crappy concert. Yepp. Good days (:
