Good.
Because today I am thankful. So thankful.
Thankful for friends who hold your hand, give hugs and sit next to you because you are hurting.
Friends who accept the tear stained face of a girl with very little sleep and very high emotions with z.e.r.o. judgment.
Friends who look you in the eye and say, "Don't leave. I have to go take care of something, really quickly, but just don't leave, okay?" because they care about you.
Thankful for people who see me.
Thankful for my little community.
These next two weeks are going to be insane, just like the last two weeks of semester have always been. Late hours plus stressed out students equals crazy. But being a helping possibly calming voice in that sea of crazy for them is one of my favorite things about my job. Seriously.
I heard somewhere (okay fine. It was a Gilmore Girl episode.) that sometimes it is helpful to view problems in life as challenges instead of a problem or setback. So here are some "challenges" I have to look forward to this week:
- working a crazy finals schedule
- finish organizing study break (food, drinks, games, etc.)
- getting my car to the garage to (hopefully) fix what I think is a leaky radiator hose
- laundry (or seriously, I'll be wearing all my fancy dresses to work for two weeks. And when the dresses run out, it's gonna be jeans and hoodies…)
Where's the fun in life if things aren't a little difficult, right? And if you see me sitting in a corner somewhere, rocking quietly or crying, just leave a huge cup of coffee with me and back away slowly. Trust me. It will end better for both of us.

you could take your laundry to your mom's house. that's how she shows her love anyway - acts of service.
