Why I'm In A Good Mood

Well tonight I find myself in a pretty hearty mood. Now I usually am a optimistic person and really I haven't been "too down" lately, but tonight I'm just in a good mood. Here is a short list of why:

1. It is semester test time here at East Marshall. That means it is quiet in the school and the teachers job is a bit more simple. Sure, it is a lot of checking, but it just means that we've made it through a semester.

2. I'm watching Chris Rock's "Never Scared" for like the 100th time on HBO currently, and it is STILL funny.

3. Basketball is on a short hiatus during tests and break. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying basketball. I like the other coaches I work with, but having no practice and no games for awhile means some free time. Plus after having road trips on both Monday and Tuesday, it was nice to come home early tonight.

4. Today was the first day of winter. No I don't like winter. Nobody in Iowa does. But with today being the first day of winter and the shortest day of the year...the optimistic side of me says the days will only get longer!! I like that.

5. It is Christmas time. Enough said. Something about the season always puts you in a better mood.

That is all for tonight.
