Positive feedback

Happiness is...

Positive feedback. It's the time of the year for a mid-year evaluation. And I love it. I know I'm rare in this manner, but it's the truth.

I am an achiever. I thrive off receiving feedback, implementing it, and growing. I love professional development and I value objective measures of performance. I also could use a good pat on the back every now and then. Couldn't we all?

Today the mid-year evaluation went quite swimmingly. I am leaving the semester with a smile on my face and a spring in my step. Hello winter break. Hello competency. Hello continued success.

Red Box

Happiness is...

Movies for a dollar. It seems like an easy solution to a boring evening, and it spices up any date night. Walk into your nearest grocer's, step up to the red kiosk, scroll through the many disasters you wish were never put to film, and find the odd treasure. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Sometimes I get nostalgic for Mr. Movies or Blockbuster (yes, all movie stores in my zip code are officially closed) and then I save a couple bucks picking up a movie for the night. I don't even have to wander around the store to make my choice... Nor do I have to be tempted by the candy at the checkout. It's decided, I prefer my red box. Want one of your own? Try the codes DVDONME or BREAKROOM and go home with a good flick! mmmmmredboxyesplease...

Positivity

Happiness is...

Knowing I CAN do this. I have the interviews and acceptance letters to prove it!

Things are coming together. The next piece of my life is not a distant future anymore, it is beginning to solidify as a plan, and that gives me a lot of emotions... a roller coaster of emotions... Nevertheless, happiness is indeed one of them.

Wish me luck!

Warmth

Happiness is...

Skipping the extra layer.

Welcome Spring!

p.s. I got an interview for a graduate program today :) oh happy day.
