Enjoying the simple things

In these crazy "study till you drop" weeks, I have found that I take pleasure in the simple things. . .these following things have made me smile over the past week. . .

1. Having "study dates" with good friends everyday, where we socialize 5% of the time & really study the other 95%

2. "IM"ing your friends while they are sitting less than 5 feet away from you (that way you can keep studying. . .you don't have to pull out your earphones and actually turn & talk to them)

3. Getting calls from your friends who really care

4. Getting calls from your friends who really care & who have preliminary/official dates (strange isn't it - I'm either annoyed or estatic at people who are getting married, but to my three friends in particular, I'm estatic!)

5. Friends who were away on vacation coming back to the big L & beginning to study. (welcome back Kirtana & Rianne. . .Ellen, seriously - come back! Lina - don't leave! everyone else - thanks for being solid!)

6. Season/series finales on TV. . .I haven't watched a single episode of many of these series - but the season finales are awesome!

7. Running in the park every morning & seeing my new friends. . .I don't know their names yet - but I see them every morning at 7:15am, and that gets me out of bed most mornings - 'cause I don't want to disappoint them.
