I almost forgot.

Things I was thankful for in May:

• watermelon via Marc, with extra thanks because Mariah got really excited when I told her we had watermelon in our fridge
  
• dyeing Nuri's hair, because even if he ended up looking like a blond hedgehog, he looked like a festive blond hedgehog, and I haven't seen him for a while
  
• sleeping with no pants on and not being judged for it
  
• babies, because we don't get them around much in college, and I love laughing babies
  
• Amman during my supermassive black hole headache
  
• skipping logic lecture and being about thirty times more productive because of it
  
• Jessie! With exclamation points! Because she is that exciting!
  
• Ma-ri-ah, like you wouldn't believe
  
• Evan, who I forgot existed and is, indeed, still a total stud
  
• Special Topics in Calamity Physics
• blisters from swinging on monkey bars at the playground
• linguistics, because it is so painless to study
• taking this relaxation thing really, really seriously (...and watching Spring Awakening videos for two hours to make it official that I was done studying for ESPM)
  
• Jergens Daily Glow, because my pasty legs never looked this healthy and smelled so good
  
• the pigeon that landed in our windowsill, because it proves that under pressure, I don't think; I scream
  
• bralessness
• Lincoln for not screwing up my summer registration (he screwed it up for someone else with almost the same ID as I have)
  
• Nude Sushi
• PopCo
• Bryan for being so convinced that Crossroads' serving orange chicken was a sign that God loves him and fate is on his side
  
• Speaker for the Dead
• chocolate milk at a greasy diner
  
• my mother, my mother, my mother, because I am a child
  
• that redic-ly, male-model-cute guy making eyes at me near bloomingdale's
• Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
• Rose, who, worrisomely, I think is totally hot
• Kite Runner
• having a mother who goes out early in the morning to buy Granny Smith apples and fruit juice because you mentioned a craving for them the night before
• Turkish coffee ice cream from Polly Ann's
• Auntie Imelda's curry
• rediscovering the utter MAGIC that is Harry Potter
  
• garage and estate sales, because I didn't realize how much I missed this
• the ridiculously expensive, free dinner with ridiculously expensive people thanks to Philip
• CLAY POT, which is totally my version of comfort food
