Nine moments from my day:

9. Waking up before the alarm clock because I was having a nightmare that involved Cate and I being chased on a farm.

8. Pulling my favorite sweater out of the closet to wear today even though it isn’t actually cold enough for sweaters quite yet.

7. Getting a fantastic parking spot at work, something that rarely happens unless I engage a little road rage.

6. Receiving my first math quiz back in class only to find that I made a score higher than -1 but lower than 1.  You do the math (literally).

5. Raising my hand in math class to ask — and I kid not — “With all due respect, sir, when will I use algebraic equations in my life?”

4. Hearing my professor respond “Honestly, probably never.”

3. Kicking a soccer ball to Nicholas inside his apartment and getting it past him, finally proving what we both knew all along: I’m far superior than him when it comes to soccer.

2. Coming home to two puppies who literally turn circles because they’re so happy to see me at night.

1. Realizing that I not only have enough hot pink hair rollers to spell out the number 9, but could actually do the same for numbers 1 – 10 in one setting if I so wanted.
