Happy Lists

Last year several happy lists emerged from Mr. Rahn's AP calculus class. There were some days when Courtney, Sara, and I simply couldn't listen to calculus anymore, so we passed around sheets of paper and listed things that made us happy. Here's the original list. My additions are in the Trebuchet font, Sara's are in the Georgia font, and Courtney's are in the Courier font.

  • •    soup
  • •    blue eyes
  • •    reading a good book on a rainy day
  • •    this pen*
  • •    a hillside when its leaves change color
  • •    Benny and Joon
  • •    the scent of fallen leaves
  • •    books/movies that make you cry
  • •    chocolate, anytime, anywhere
  • •    the wind
  • •    perfectly golden roasted marshmallows
  • •    doing random things at random times without caring what other people think about it (ex: taking jumping pictures in the rain during lunch)
  • •    singing in the rain (both the musical and the actual activity)
  • •    singing in general (the girls 100 building bathroom, best acoustics EVER)

  • •    maria's hat**
