180

As I sit here getting pretty annoyed at it all, at the vague, dense mire that I have to wade through so frequently just to squeeze a tiny ray of objective and meaning out of the paper mountain surrounding me, I was going to make a list of all the things that irk me. Instead, I'll save that for another day, and go with what makes me genuinely and childishly happy instead:

Cafe Claude
Finishing a run
Getting to deliver something on the shuttle, which gives me a good guilt-free hour and a half to read my book
Finding candy in my campus mail
My flatmate
Juliette and Benny tipsy
E-mails from Ross
The Economist
Baking
The Daily Cal newsroom at ALL hours
The Vicar of Dibley
Rain
Going home
Supporting myself
Bringing a mug of tea to lab meetings
Chubbers
The way Cristian says leukoplakia
House of Curries
Flowers on the ledge, bubblegum cigarrettes and handmade birthday notes
Watching tennis finals
My little black journal
Passing judgement with Tatyana
Paul!

All in all, amidst the mire, a good life.
