10 Happy Things

1. God
2. Korean pop music. Purchased directly from South Korea during my trip. Saucy hips? Sorry, Sorry? Again and again? Heartbreak? This stuff is legit!
3. Finding out that Michelle (Michi!) will be visiting Shanghai for a few days during her winter Asia trip. I am so excited to see her!!!
4. Nice weather. The sun has been shining and the breeze has been light.
5. Calling home to California and hearing my parents’ voices.
6. Getting comments from my advisor about my first thesis draft. Not a whole lot of positive news, but at least I’ve passed one major step on the road to completing my thesis.
7. Having a quiet weekend to myself. I have the whole apartment to myself for a few days so it has been nice to have no noise and not much talking. Nice break from my kindergartners.
8. Making my kindergartners laugh over the simplest and silliest things.
9. Thinking about Southern California and Los Angeles.
10. Thinking about international travel and reflecting on my time abroad this last year and a half.
