For example, when I was 3, I struggled with learning how to tie my shoes. My stubby fingers continuously got stuck in the loops, or I would make my bunnies, only to end up with a failed knot. After the 784th time, I finally got it.
Or the time that I learned how to write into my thesis statements. (Oh wait, this was about 4 months ago.)
I love when things magically come together. An article, a plan, or the invention of TiVo. As I started school last week, I was overwhelmed with the amount of work I was faced with. But at 1 o’clock last night, I finished up a piece and I had a very welcoming eureka moment – I’m pretty decent at this “school” thing. Love it.

Also,
You know those moments when you meet someone, and you just automatically want to be their friend? Kindred spirits they call it.
I’ve found a few of those this week, mostly in my journalism classes. Not best friends, not life long partners, but you recognize in each other a mutual affection. Conversations are started with silly introductions:
- Hey…are you in any of my other classes? (As if this person knows your schedule)
- Hi…remind me of your name again. (We’ve never actually met, but I’m assuming that you don’t know that..)
- I got here late, did I miss anything? (I’m dumbing myself down so that I can start a conversation with you. Come on, don’t you want to be my friend?)
I got to start one of those conversations this week by complimenting a neighbor’s planner. Some people need coffee, or their phone, or chapstick. I need my planner. And this neighbor, did too. And eureka – friendsies.
