10 things of thanks

continued

NO TIME!!! to post yesterday. So I will include 10 items: 5 for today and 5 for yesterday.

1. Hyperbole and a Half. In my Brain and Behavior class, I sit behind a girl who every day has her laptop open. I noticed she went on this particular website every day and I wondered what it was. http://www.hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/ HILARIOUS!!!

2. Straighteners. My hair + straightener = love.

3. Sticky Notes. A place where my central executive doesn't have to worry about it. The central executive is part of a Working Memory theory. You can ask me for more details if you want, but for now I'll just move on to:

4. Dog Spritz. Makes Kobe smell like cucumber melon. Mmmmmmmm.

5. Rice Thins. What a deliciously salty snack.

6. Contacts. Growing up I could not wait for the day I got to wear contacts. No more breaking/bending my glasses. No more getting smashed in the face by a ball and having SO much worse injuries than I would have had, had I not been wearing glasses. No more looking like a nerd! Note: just because I didn't look like a nerd didn't mean I wasn't a nerd.

7. The Newspaper. Depressing? Yes, but I would be so ignorant without it.

8. The Right to Vote. I will be voting in Calgary's municipal election. My first time ever and I am pretty excited about it. I will NOT be accused of voter's apathy!

9. Blistex. My fave.

10. Lotion. I read a fictional book once where women were forced to not wear any more makeup, jewelery, or lotion (etc.) and they would sneak butter into their rooms to moisturize with. Oh lotion, where would I be without you?
