Happy thought for a Wednesday.

Cheer up, the week's almost over

I read a book once.

It inspired this post. I don't remember what it was called, or even if it was very good. All I remember was the protagonist was given a school assignment to write on these three things.
And I was inspired.

Also, I added a third.

These I have loved...
oceans, beaches and sand
ham sandwiches and bacon and egg pies
early foggy mornings
dampness and humidity
the sound of snow beneath my skis
the silence of the trees
the rush of a blizzard
power outages
school bells
libraries
starry nights
theater days
airports and passport stamps
sweaty hikes and treacherous trails
conversations with random strangers
long talks with old friends

These I love...
a space all to myself
being invisible
being noticed
asked for advice
receiving good advice
long walks around the temple
secrets
quiet time
bed time
morning time
being on time
tidy spaces
getting lost
getting found
pipi
institute
music
technology
being loved

but most of all, I will be happy.

awe look at me keeping my promises.

Yes. Here I am. I'm back, just like I said I would be. You want an update? Okay well just a quick one...
Summer is gone. Just like that. I spent the majority of it at work. (not even kidding, I just did the math and assuming I slept 7 hours a day (haha thats a pretty big assumption) I literally spent more than half of the rest of my time at work). But I made good use of the time I wasn't working so it was a good summer. Actually, it was the best one so far (funny, but I think I remember saying that about last summer). I didn't accomplish any of the hiking on my to-do list, but that's okay. I had some fantastic times, and built friendships that will last forever.
Aaaaand now I've moved up to Calgary. Yup, small town Brittney in the big city. My plan is to do my bachelor of science at the U here. Please, don't ask me what I'm doing after that. So far I have managed to get lost often. I am managing the driving and traffic okay though, which was one of my bigger worries. I have met several people who's names I immediately forgot and have decided that my roommates are thankfully normal.
Yesterday was a defeating day. After wandering around campus most of the day, by myself, completely lost, not accomplishing anything that I needed to do, I was ready to give up. I was ready to call it quits and crawl back in my hole. But this morning I decided that I was made of stronger stuff than that. I decided, upon waking, that today was going to be a great day, and that I needed to do everything possible to take advantage of it's greatness. I was in a good mood, from the very beginning. Nothing could get me down. And it was a great day. I didn't get (that) lost. I talked to people, took a chance, possibly made a fool of myself, made some mistakes, and also made some really good choices. As a result, I am more oriented with the campus (I will probably still get lost many more times though), I met some people, I got help where I needed it, figured out where I'm going and what I'm doing, and got answers to all my questions. But most of all, I figured out one important thing...
I can do this. So here I go. Just watch me.
