Half Full Friday

Half Full Friday is a series of weekly posts that Eyegirl originally started in June 2009.  We believe that a lot of our happiness is determined by our attitude about the things that happen to us.  So by participating, I'm deciding to see the glass as half full instead of half empty; I'm choosing to concentrate on the positives instead of dwelling on the negatives.  The Half Full Friday posts are a way to do just that.  They're a list of the things in my life that have brought me happiness over the past week.  I'm determined to find something good in each day.  Are you?

For the next week, I'd like to challenge each of you to keep a list of at least one thing that brought you happiness each day.  Be sure to link up here once you've posted your list!

I have a quiz tomorrow - fortunately it's open book/open notes.  I'm nervous about it though just because it's 35 questions long and there's a time limit.  Then next week I have a test in another class.  And the week after that, I have two tests.  Scary!  When I commented to a friend today about the overwhelming amount of homework I have every night, she asked if it was just because I was a new student.  Honestly, I don't think so!  Two of the four classes assign work daily, one doesn't assign it as often but I've had to write up one report a week for the past three weeks.  And the fourth one hasn't been too bad.  Yet!  I've not had a single day of school where I haven't had at least 5 hours of homework.  (Not for each individual class but between the four.)  Friday's are even worse because they assign even more work.  Psychology assigns a LOT of homework but I'm actually kind of glad if only because it makes me work that much harder and ensures I'm actually doing the reading and paying attention in class.

I volunteered this morning and afterwards, a man walked up to me saying he needed to look at my car and get pictures for evidence.  He explained he owned the car and it was his friend that hit my car last week.  I walked him over to my car and told him the damage was minimal and if his friend could have been bothered to even apologize, I probably would've looked the other way but since he didn't, I wasn't going to let it go.  He then told me he had witnesses to back up the claim that his friend didn't scratch my car.  I told him I have witnesses to say that he did!  It didn't occur to me until later but seriously - how can he have witnesses to say he didn't scratch it?!  I mean, it's not they looked my bumper over for scratches before he hit it!  And there certainly are scratches there now!  I could tell he was pissed about the whole thing, especially since he had nothing to do with it and now it's going being charged to his insurance.  I don't blame him but at the same time, it's not my fault either!  So I don't know what will come of the situation.

Tomorrow is the Big Race!  I'm so excited, I can hardly wait!!!  GO, PIP!!!!!!
