things that make me happy
On the eve of the dreaded comprehensive exam week ("comps" to all of us at Heller), I'm looking at my most recent pictures and thinking of some things that make me happy... and hoping this happiness (and luck) will extend all the way through until next Thursday, when comps are over. Since I can't put captions on the photos here, I will list the happy-making things pictured below (not necessarily in order of priority):
1) Sabritas Habañero limón. I discovered them in Mexico last summer and it was LOVE, then I found out they sell them in Cloverdale, the little town on the 101 side of Mendocino. Yum. Wish I had some for this week...
2) My cow socks from my mom. 'Nuf said.
3) The cardinal in our backyard (we don't have those in Cali)
4) Eating pupusas, especially with Nicky
5) My pink beer! (Magic Hat's spring variety)
6) Zoe
7) This man
8) The flowers in my garden (there are lots of these - more happiness to share)
9) Nikhil shaving his beard
10) Nikhil shaving his head
11) My neighbor's cherry tree
12) The five-leaf clover (no joke) I found in my yard this week. (I'm hoping this one will really carry me through all this. Clearly I don't know how to preserve a clover between glass because it's looking a bit worse for the wear. But still exciting...
