Welcome to the hotel california...

[synapticjava]

What a beautiful day. I got to sleep in a little before work. The sun is shining, for once. And it's supposed to be almost-warm today (39 - heatwave!). And, I'm feeling good. Nah, I'm feeling pretty great.

It's one of those endless possibility days - where anything can happen. And I think something good'll happen today.

You know, it's kind of funny. Last night on the busirde home from work, I was feeling pretty miserable. All gloomy and down and blah. I looked up, and this woman sitting across from me was looking at me and smiled. Before I could think, I smiled back at her. And all of a sudden, I was feeling so much better. It's pretty cool when you think about it - something as simple as a stranger's smile can make you feel a world of better.

There are things I need to fix, to work on. But it isn't and doesn't have to be overnight. I guess maybe somwhere in the last couple of weeks I lost that confidence I had. Well, it's time to get it back.

I also just registered for the GRE. I want to be in school again, soon.

Good luck with the GRE. Are you applying to Psychology programs?

Yup. My masters:)

THAT was the work from the mostly unspoken but unconsciously unanimous Make the World Smile project. Right there, in action, bold print, oh yeah. I'm glad it did its job.

Hah. I remember *hating* school when I was in it. But, trust me - you MISS it after it's gone.

And, you'll be happy to know I'm totally on board with the smile program. I smile at strangers all the time now - and half of them smile back! (of course, the other half look at me like I'm crazy and then cross the street...but I digress.)

In my experience the GRE subject test was a bear but the general GRE wasn't too challenging. I mean, go ahead and review for it but don't hurt yourself with worry and test anxiety.
