I started watching The OC because my linguistics professor keeps making references to it in class. Really, you should be proud that I’m such an active learner.

1. My friend made a call back home because she’s been worried about the health of a relative. She asked me how my relatives were, and I kinda just shrugged and said they were fine. I haven’t really thought about it because there was nothing to worry about. And my friend said she was glad for me, that I’m blessed to have a healthy self and family. And I am.
2. Cooked up a delicious dinner of asparagus, onions, garlic, peppers, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and rice. I’ve really been feeling butternut squash and sweet potatoes lately. Blame it on autumn.
3. Tampons and chocolate.
4. There was a free bag of Reese’s Pieces in the lab.
5. I had a meeting with my professor and I was very anxious about meeting her because she’s so smart and I’m always lost in her class and don’t speak up very much. While we were chatting, she mentioned that I was very quiet in class, and that was no surprise, but then she said she hopes that I’ll talk more in class, at least in group discussions, because it seems like I usually do have an idea of what’s going on and am going in the right direction, which totally took my by surprise when she said that, because I definitely do not feel that way at all, but it’s a relief that she thinks that. Will definitely be trying my best to work on that.
6. Kat and I popped by Poké Ono on their grand opening. They had buy one get one free poké bowls, and they also had free cookies!
7. Had a girl’s night with Georgina, Victoria, and Ami! It’s been awhile since the four of us have been able to hang out all together. We need to do this more often. It was a beautiful night of watching movies, doing nails, drinking tea, and eating rice. (Used Georgina’s pink metallic “Face It” PK102 from The Face Shop and gold “Keep Me on My Mistletoes” SE H23 from Sephora by O.P.I.)
8. Turning the clocks back one hour for daylight savings. I wish we had 25 hours every day!
9. Currently listening to You Were the One Who Drove Here by Heir.

What was the highlight of your week?

I want to make an effort to remember the little joys in life, so my 52 week challenge for 2016 is to write weekly Happy Lists.
