Good things that happened today:
1. Went fencing.
2. Ate cake and ice cream at fencing.
3. Took a practice GRE. Was minorly freaking because some of the verbal stuff was throwing me... I wasn't very clear on vocab definitions, and am now really nervous about analogies... and then I got 800 verbal/780 quantitative. So... little to be really worried about, apparently. ;) *knocks on wood*
4. Did a little bit more for my writing sample.
5. Finished the Gandhi autobiography.
6. Got a haircut. (Haircuts are the equivalent of slinky black little dresses for making me feel sexy and attractive. ;) )

Good things that happened today:
1. Dara showed me a yarn store in Harvard Square! I bought point protectors. It's probably good that I don't live around there, or I would be waaay too tempted to go and buy stuff...
2. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. The kind of cool, clear, clean end-of-summer day that I've only experienced in Massachusetts. Wonderful for walking around outside.
3. I had a lovely walk back to my house from where the bus dropped me off when I was going home from Dara's.
4. Jason called. :)
5. Saw skull and crossbones earrings in a store!!! They were SO AWESOME! I should've bought them...
6. Ben & Jerry's Phish Food. Need I say more?
7. Watching porn clips.

Good things that happened yesterday:
1. Hung out with Dara in Harvard Square in the evening and slept over her place.
2. Got the GRE practice software working and did some practice questions. (I HATE ANALOGIES!)
3. While hanging with Dara at a pub, met a bunch of her friends, one of whom fences epee for her school and knows a guy who fences epee at my school. It was entertaining. We talked shop for like an hour.
