Yay, me!

I have to celebrate the little things or I get anxious and depressed. So here is what I'm happy about today:

(1) I finished not one, not two, but THREE major projects for school today, and have uploaded everything I could possibly need onto Taskstream, the bane of every elementary education major's existence. With the exception of my social studies journals for the last 8 weeks and reading two short young adult novels and doing some minor math homework, the rest that's left of the semester is three finals!

(2) I am getting closer to mastering the right amount of rice to cook for dinner. Paul & I always seem to make too much, and rice just doesn't save right, so then the leftovers sit in my fridge, piling up...but whenever I try to skimp on the rice, we both end up wanting more. :) Tonight, I only had about 3/4 cup of rice left over, and if we hadn't been munching on crackers and chocolates all day we'd probably have finished it off!

(3) I didn't swell up in hives today. Whether this is because I'm no longer allergic to the frigid winter air or because I ingested some allergy meds yesterday afternoon that haven't worn off yet, I don't know, but any day you don't swell up in puffy, itchy hives is a good day, right?

That's the end. Now, since Paul's into his book and I don't feel like reading any more than I already have had to today, I'm going to go play mindless games for a few hours and enjoy being proud of myself.
