Happiness, Day 7

Today's gratitudes:

• Got iTunes working on my computer! One of my students suggested to try downloading it on Chrome. It worked! Yay. I've now re-installed everything and Powerpoint still works fine. Hopefully this indicates that my computer is going to be ok from now on.
• Lost 1 lb even though I hadn't eaten very well in the last few days. I guess this means my metabolism has improved! Yay.
• Today's elliptical and stretching helped my back to feel better. When I woke up this morning my back still hurt, so that meant I had to skip full body this week completely. I decided to try today's workout because I thought it might help (I'm thinking my sore back is a result of sitting for long periods of time). And it did help, so hopefully after tomorrow's day of rest it will be back to normal.

Today's kindness:
Two of my students were having fun during the class, and they were making me laugh a lot. I told them that I liked that they did that, that it was nice to see them having a good time as they worked on their labs.

Today's reflection:
Today was another pretty good day in general. I ALMOST got out of bed at 6:15. I was so close. But then I ended up sleeping until 8. Then I went to the gym, which went well. Then I went to the library to finish printing out my CMOST document, and saw Becky (she works there) so I got to chat with her for a bit. After that I went to my office to grade some papers before class (trying to catch up because I'm 2 assignments behind). Class went well, and then it was a fun teaching day. Not only were those two students having fun, but two of the others were talking to me about Thanksgiving plans. It was so funny because one of them asked me if I had my drivers license, and I about died laughing because Laura and I have been making so much fun of Eliza for the fact that her boyfriend told her that she had to get her drivers license before they move in together. After teaching, I graded a bit more. One guy stopped by my office to talk about our strat paper (ew, behind on that as well), and another guy stopped by to invite me along to trivia night. Unfortunately I had to decline because I'm so behind on everything. But it will be nice to get back into trivia nights! I used to do it all the time at PSU.
