These are a few of my favorite things...

So, what makes me happy when skies are gray?

Good question. Let's see.

Harry Potter.

Jason Mraz.

Mythology.

Carnivals.

Christmas.

OH, and getting stuff. Not like receiving it but, understanding something. This has been the year of aha's in French. Everyday I have "Da Vinci Code" moments where suddenly a bunch of obscure things come into play and what do ya know. I'm parlez-vous-ing Francais.

It's just that great feeling of working and working and working and SNAP it all makes sense. No more head scratching cause now the light bulb is on. In Euro today we were taking a test about the period between WWI and WWII and he had us define 6 words.

in german.

I got a few here. A few there but, one I had no idea. So I stared at it and what did I see? poli.

poli. polis. metropolitan. politics. polite. police. POLICE.

THE GESTAPO. Eureka! I got it. Just an overwhelming feeling of OH YEAH. I RULE. WHUTNOW?! came over me and I wished I could've high-fived someone. Le sigh.

So aha's make me smile everytime.
