An Update Because of School and Happiness

So, I've been rather busy the last two weeks. I started school again. Read the last sentence again and weep. Not really. It hasn't actually been all that awful. My first two weeks of official high school-ness have gone pretty well.

Our co-op has gotten a little larger, and the classes are more organized. Also, it's on Thursday now too, instead of just Tuesday. Which is a little more hectic. Wednesday has been donned my stress out day, because I have homework to finish and then another pile of it to look forward to.

I've had a love/hate relationship with science for the last few years, except there's been no love. Just hate. I hate science. Until this year. I've started Biology, and I thought it would be awful, but I've actually really rather enjoyed everything so far. I understand it a lot better than I thought I would, and I got a good grade on my first test today. Which is cause for celebration. I'd eat chocolate. If I had any.

My math and I, however, are already beginning that downward spiral in our relationship that leads to me having daydreams of burning Algebra. I kinda hate anything to do with it now, but at least I'm getting it done.

History is going pretty good. I had to do an essay on Religious Freedom, but it didn't have to be long. And I had rather a good time writing it.

My piano lessons are lovely. I've always love piano, and I'm super glad I get to take it again this year. I've moved up quite a bit from my playing level of last year. 
I am, as of yesterday, working once again on the soundtrack music "One Day" from Pirates of the Caribbean. I love it so much, and I can't wait to get the whole thing down. 

Okay, I've been thinking a bit about making a list every day of ten things I'm thankful for. Because thinking of those things tends to make me happy, and it's rather fun and refreshing to do. And then I got to thinking I could put something like that on my blog. Every time I post I can do happiness of the day thing. Or something. Or maybe posts for happiness. They shall be donned Happiness Posts.
... I like this idea. Happiness is fun.
But for now I'm just gonna do five things that have made me happy.

So, things that have made me happy today:
Good test scores. :)
New piano songs.
Hugs from little sisters.
The fact that it should be cooling of soon, which means autumn isn't too far away.
Understanding Algebra. At least for today.

Now, I challenge you, my probably-somewhere-around-five readers, to think of five things that made you happy this fine day. You don't have to do anything with it, just think about them. It makes for a good day. :)

Have a lovely rest of the day.
