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!  (This isn't a blog hop so please only link up if you've participated by posting your happy list.  Thanks!)

Blogger is finally back up!

I made it through the semester!

I got B's in my Psych, Government and Theatre class!  Still waiting on my History grade.

My History professor agreed to accept my report!  And she said I was a joy to have in class!

I'm going to my friend's graduation party tomorrow!

Another friend from school sent me a really sweet email at the end of the semester!
 
I got my free BBW stuff for the month yesterday!
 
I got a book and cards in the mail from Deborah!  I'll show them off next week, along with some other goodies I was lucky enough to receive.
 
I'm a little ticked at my Theatre grade.  We had to write 2 reviews.  I got an 86% on the first one and admittedly, put very little work into it.  The second one I'd worked on for several days and was quite pleased with it when I turned it in.  I got the same exact grade as on the first one!  I really felt like I deserved an A on it.  I got a high C on the final because I didn't really study for it.  It was an easy class so I chose to put my focus on other classes instead.  But the important thing is just that I passed!
 
Once I got back into town yesterday from taking my Psych final, I went over to my parent's house and from there, we all drove over to the vet's office.  They had a very old beagle named Angel and my father decided it was time to put her down.  She hadn't been doing well and he felt it was in her best interest.  She sat in the back with me and immediately peed on the seat as soon as my dad closed the door.  I didn't say anything to anyone about it though because I didn't want her to get yelled at in her last few minutes of life.  She cuddled with me on the way there and I kept telling her how much I loved her.  It was so hard to let her go.  We think she was about 15-16 years old.  My parents are having her cremated. 
 
The worst part of it all was when we returned home.  My parents have a young beagle and he was extremely upset that we didn't bring Angel back with us.  He just howled and howled and wouldn't let anyone comfort him.  I felt soooooo bad for him; Angel has always been there his whole life and he's lost without her. 

RIP, my sweet Angel
