What makes you happy today?

Post by Giovanni Schwartz »

I got a job offer. It's not in the field of my degree, and (I assume) it was a competitive job. I'm overjoyed.

(I did not want to work in my degree field. At all. So this fact is more than overjoying me. Even though it's finals week.)

I got to the second round of interviews for TWO jobs, semi-miraculously, and have found a suitable volunteer position and event committee to be a part of. :D Oh and good friends who I don't have to act fake with.

Congrats, Gio! That's really exciting. :)

Portia, "Oh and good friends who I don't have to act fake with." That's like the whole point of friends!! :) Awesome.

I got a gift from my reddit secret santa and it was something I put in my Amazon cart yesterday but didn't buy yet! Such a crazy coincidence.

Talking to my mom has become one of my favorite things to do.

I fried an egg perfectly this morning (runny yolk, not runny white) and it was delicious on toast.

I can finally listen to music without headphones! I accidentally purchased a monitor without speakers when I built my computer during the summer, and ended up waiting until Black Friday before I could get a good price on a decent pair.
The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

I think she bought a computer and it didn't have speakers, so she had to plug in headphones to listen to anything. Now that she has purchased speakers she doesn't have to use headphones.

It is a desktop computer, but sometimes (like in my case) the speakers are actually integrated into the monitor. (I've never seen a desktop with speakers integrated into the tower.) She wanted a monitor with speakers, and thought the one she was buying had them integrated, but it did not.

We can get into the house on Monday, but we don't move until Saturday. During the week I'm going to send as many small boxes as I can with my husband so he can drop them off on his way to or from work.

And best news ever, I was worried about closing costs, and we were pretty much planning on blowing up our savings if need be, but not only did we end up not needing to bring any money to closing, they returned our earnest money deposit, so we walked away from closing with a house and a check for $500.

Really good date last night, fortunately (or unfortunately) accompanied by a really good dream starring him (except with the name of Keith, which definitely isn't his name)

Reading everyone's news here is bringing a smile to my face. I found a gym (uber-90s decor, but great facilities) to join, the weather is very mild, and I discovered this Belgian chocolate milk that is just, woah.

Belgian chocolate milk? tell me more!

I watched some church videos instead of spreading my germs at church and I let myself like them a little.

THERE IS NOT A SINGLE STORE IN TEXAS THAT SELLS THIS.

But since this is a thread about things that make us happy, I'm happy that you get to drink it :-D
