2. Doing well on exams- This week, I had a Evangelical Theology and Cultural Geography test, and I think I did well on both!

3. Skyping with my best friend- My friend, Hannah, is spending the semester studying abroad in Lithuania, and I was able to skype with her last Wednesday. She has joined a hand bell choir, aced an essay for her most difficult class, and made plans to travel to St. Petersburg to see Swan Lake and to Germany to see the Christmas markets.

4. Helping people in the Writing Center- During one of my Writing Center shifts, I was able to help someone with their essay for over an hour.

5. Fall music-
