Thankful Thursdays: Cell Phones

It is Thursday and might I say, it is a wonderful Thursday. I went to bed early and got 9 hours of sleep!!! (hasn't happened in over 4 months at least!!) and I got up and looked outside my dorm window and saw how beautiful the day was. I could see the water of the Pacific Ocean between the palm trees and the clouds were streaked across the sky, matching the way the islands sat on the water. It was so beautiful!

I decided that I would not let anything bring my day down and I wasn't going to worry about anything. Yesterday, I was told that I got a scholarship for Computer Science worth $10,000!!!!! I about started crying and felt like I was going to faint. It was probably the most exciting thing ever! Then later that night, my roommate, suite mate, and I went to see our huge campus tree being lit. I took a picture with Santa with my friends and it was wonderful!!! I was in the highest of happiness...cloud 9.

Today, I spent a lot of time with a suite mate and we did a lot of Christmas stuff and it was so wonderful. I laughed sooooo much. We also decided to learn the lyrics to the Silly Songs with Larry Christmas Song. It is great. Two hours ago, some people had a gingerbread decorating party and we all made houses. It was soooo fun. Mine died, but it was gummy so it's all good. Now I have a lot of things to do because it's Thursday and I don't have class on Friday, and that means only 1 more week of classes and one more week for finals and then I'm done for the semester and then it's Christmas!!!!! I can't wait for it! I'm so excited! I absolutely love Christmas. It's great seeing all of the Christmas decorations around here =)

I just posted all of that and then realized that I forgot to write another thing I'm thankful for! Tonight I decided to say I'm thankful for my cell phone. I know that may seem like such a teenager thing to say, but I really am! For Thanksgiving break, I brought it and its charger home (of course) and then forgot to bring the charger back to school!! So i lasted a week before the battery went out and now I don't have a cell. I miss it. Not just cuz I need it to text and look on the internet and use all its apps and games and what not, cuz honestly, I only use it to make calls, text, and check the time. It is 5 years old and i love it so much. I just want to say that I'm thankful for it because now I don't know what time it is or when I'm meeting people for lunch or call my mom after class or anything! I don't know what I did (or what society did) without this amazing device for communication.
