A day in the life.

During my sophomore year of high school, my friend Mitchell and I started this tradition of identifying one thing -whether it was a person, a quote, a joke, or an event- that was our favorite part of the day. The second part of our tradition was we tried to report to each other at the end of the day what our favorite part of the day was. Sometimes our favorite part of the day was the same and sometimes it was different. It helped us make it through the monotony of high school. We tried to make the best of every day and I think we accomplished this through our special tradition, the incredible power of positive thinking and the creation of good memories.
I am starting this tradition again. I love having this anticipation each morning that sometime during the day something will happen and it will be my favorite part of that day.
My favorite parts of this week (because I didn't keep track of the days) :
1. In my French class, our new vocabulary included some adjectives of nationality. Professeur Mrazek was listing some nationalities to the class and we were repeating them out loud. When he said, "japonais," my partner Peter whispered to me with utmost sincerity, "jalapeño?"
I laughed so hard I had to cover my face. I laughed because he didn't just ask the question with utmost sincerity, he meant the question with utmost sincerity. Now we say, "Oh, spicy!" when we talk about people with a Japanese heritage.
2. We have lockers in our workspace. Someone surprised me and left the best apple I've tasted in two years in my locker.
3. My Art Appreciation instructor Lisa Staley said, "Drawing is a great way to get to know the world." She is cute.
4. My friends Laura and Stephanie were walk-on characters at YL Club this week. They were Betty Caruso and Jodi Deitz from the Saturday Night Live skit Bronx Beat. They are the best.
5. My friend Kelsey told me I am going to be the Paris Hilton of heaven. I am not sure but I think this might have negative connotations. I am going to be good at everything in heaven.
