"Almost Like Being in Love"
Nat King Cole
What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal
I could swear I was fallen
Swear I was fallen
Well, it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peel
I would swear I was fallen
Swear I was fallen
Why, it's almost like being in love.
Today has been an excellent day. You know why? Yeah...Me neither. It's just been a really great day. I started out with breakfast, went running, read my textbook, read some of the New York Times, and then went to class. Once I got into class, my teacher went through the analysis papers that we recently turned in. Each one of them is worth 10 points, and only 3 students in the class got full credit. I was totally one of those students. Not only that, but he read my paper to the class. He then stuck it randomly in the pile so that people wouldn't have to know whose paper it was. He did the same thing with a couple of other papers. I felt so stinkin' good at school again for the first time in a little while. I got my paper back with all kinds of compliments and words like 'exemplary' and 'good!' all over it. If I had a large fridge, that paper would so be on it. This is my way of doing the same thing I guess. I wrote a letter, well...card, that's hilarious, then it was off to RA class, where I was really friendly due to my excellent mood, and then dinner with the RA's in my hall, which is always tons of fun. I came back to a great note from Uffish, and an even more artistic card (Which I loved, by the way--thanks a million:D) And now here I am back in my room, putting away the laundry that I washed yesterday and getting ready to do my CS homework.
Ordinary, ordinary things, but I am so happy right now because I've gotten so much accomplished. I'm starting to think that I should eat breakfast and go running every morning, solely for the sake of feeling great about life every day. Heck, maybe I'll even make a habit out of reading my textbooks and the newspaper, not to mention doing well on papers and writing letters and eating dinner... What's the good life? The good life is actually doing all the ordinary things I'm supposed to do anyway. Here's to actually livin' the good life. Hope you're all doing the same.

Congrats on a good day. I had a teacher put my paper on an overhead to show the class once. I agree; it's the best.
I told Ms. Thought to say hello to you when she went to drop off the note, but you weren't going to be there, so she said she wouldn't.
Hi, though.
Glad you liked your card! It was fun to make. Sorry the glue took so long to dry- you'd have gotten it closer to on time if I'd factored that in. Happy Wednesday! And keep workin' on the good life. I'm experiencing some of the intoxicating effects, myself!
My friend used to always sing it: "It's almost like being on drugs." Just a little food for thought.
Remember how you used to come with my to my civ class sometimes? Dr. Lee always talked about "the good life" and there was this hand motion that went with it. When I read "the good life" on your post today I actually made that motion. I had to, that's just how it goes. Oh, Dr. Lee, you've changed my life in so many ways. (hooray for one of those ways finally getting engaged)
