The past week has been too good to ignore, so I'm just going to go ahead and write a post about it.
The week mostly consisted of workouts, homework and studying for an Algorithms test on Friday. I increased my max bench by about 10 pounds (not very important, but still cool), I got all my work done, and I managed to do better on the test than I ever thought possible. I am by no means great at Alg. Analysis, and I usually go into tests and homeworks with fairly low expectations. It was a nice surprise when I found that I actually knew how to do everything on the test. Whether or not I did it all correctly remains to be seen, but I am somewhat optimistic.
The best and most important thing that happened in the past week is that I started a relationship with my friend Ashley whom I've liked since I met her at the end of September. She's a pretty fantastic person; smart, beautiful, fun, interesting, and nice (among other positive adjectives which I won't list for brevity's sake). I am really excited to have the opportunity to get to know her better.
Academically this has been a much rougher and more trying semester than I expected it to. Even so, it's been a really long time since I could honestly say that I am generally happy with how things are going in my life, and I think that I can say it today. It's a great feeling.
