Happiness is....
..going to the store and finding out you can now purchase large sized shirts instead of the XXL ones that you were purchasing in July! Which, incidentally, is what happened to me this weekend. In fact, I'm starting to think that by the spring, I might even need medium ones.

pleased.
So, I consider this a success.... I was out with some friends the other night and I started talking to this guy whom I haven't seen in a year or so and in our little chat, he asked me what my major was.
