today was one of those wonderful days. not wonderful in that lots of great things happened, but right now, i feel better than i have felt in a long long time. i got home and i set out my homework and told my dad about the good news about my essay. he was really excited. then he kept asking if i was interested in literary or film criticism. he was interested. and it felt so good. my dad likes me. that's probably one of the greatest accomplishments ive ever achieved. it meant the world to just make him proud. and now that he is, i am so happy. he said ive changed a lot lately. he said he liked it. my mom said im getting older. yeah, i am. and my dad is getting better. i feel really comfortable with him again, and i really enjoy talking to him. i feel so lucky to have a smart dad to talk to. so that running through my mind was enough alone to make me have a good day. then i decided to treat myself after i had finished my homework. i turned on coldplay and took a long hot shower. i shaved my legs and washed with pretty body wash and then i put on smelly lotion and my pijamas. it felt good to be to myself for that nice time. i thought a lot, and i felt really really good. and clean. very nice. i feel very good about myself. i feel healthy. i love it. too bad theres finals next week. balooga.
