Helloooo Reader!

There's no doubt about it.  I've been living the good life since I've been home.  I am currently watching Rachael Ray's talk show while sipping some of my favorite tea (Good Earth Sweet and Spicy) which I've been chugging all week.  You know?  I don't mind her but I much prefer Ellen.  I mean honestly Rachael, who really has a truffle shaver? I've also been sleeping WAY more than usual and enjoying every single minute of it.  Yep, life it good.  Oh, and I just threw on my favorite sweatshirt and a Rent playlist.  Seasons of Love just gets me every time now that we're approaching the end of the school year.  Can you tell I'm a little bit hyper?

Ever have one of those days where you sleep in super late, feel pretty good when you get up, and want to tackle anything and everything.  No literally.  Like if you saw someone you'd tackle them?  Yep.  I'm there.  I'm sitting and staring at four classes worth of homework but I'm dead set on getting at least two subjects out of the way tonight so I can take my Sunday night back on campus nice and easy.  I need a movie night or something... but I probably also need to clean my dorm.  Hmm...

I'm beginning to think that the ever elusive idea of contentment is not and never will be a grand state of being that overshadows everything else, but rather a series of short moments present in situations like this.  The trick might be to find a ton of little moments of contentment then in order to equal up to that grand state of being.  Let me stress that this isn't new.  This isn't some ground-breaking idea, but I'm only human and sometimes I forget to let happiness find me instead of me out looking for it.

So what am I going to do with this little moment of contentment?  Well I'm going to watch a little bit of C-Span, listen to my Rent, play some solitaire, and overall enjoy the moment.  Then I'll tackle some Sociology and Psychology.  And then I'll get a work out in tonight before I probably stay up way too late, working on something literary before going to bed at 2 or 3 am to do it all over again in the morning.  It's not an elaborate or exciting life at the moment, but it's still good, and I'm enjoying it.  Epic.

I hope your day is filled with sunshine, hugs, and smiles.  Not necessarily in that order.
