365 Days of Gratitude

January 24, 2013- Sun! It has been dark and dreary for the past few days (weeks, months) but today the sun came out! Everything just seems better when it's sunny, even though the wind chill is still around -20 it doesn't feel nearly as cold and my Vitamin D levels have returned to normal level meaning I am a much happier person! Plus it's Friday, what can't you be grateful for?

January 25, 2013- Snow! A little weird after I was so excited for sun yesterday I know, but the snow when we were walking downtown today was absolutely beautiful! It made everything feel like Christmas again, all that was needed was the lights.

January 26, 2013-Ice Cream Sundaes! Meal hall had Sundae Sunday and it was pretty perfect. especially after not really wanting good ice cream for a while now.

My sundae, complete with chocolate peanut
butter ice cream and lots of cherries

January 27, 2013- Talking! AUNBT and UNB Administration have finally decided to start talking again!! This is great news and hopefully we will be back in class before long.

Never have I been more excited with the prospect
of going to class

January 28, 2013- Snow Games! It's Tibbits week this week, and today we had floor wars, aka we got to play outside in the snow! It was so much fun! I miss the days where you just kind of roll around in the snow not really caring about much like we did when we were younger, or the times spent building an imaginary snow fort and "hiding" in it!

January 29, 2013- A Beautiful Campus! UNB may be on strike right now, but it is still the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Looking around reminds me part of the reason why I came here!

The sunset over campus. I love the old
brick and how clear the sky is!

January 30, 2013- Coffee! Some days you need a little coffee to make it through. Today was one of those days, working at 5:45 kills my sleep schedule, but thankfully after a cup of coffee I can make it through my morning shift somewhat alive. Today we also walked downtown, and I got so much work done at a coffee shop. Sometimes distractions are great for focusing. 

January 31, 2013- Skating! The City of Fredericton has skating rinks all over town! I went to Odell Park today and had so much fun! The rink may not be in the best of shape but it was a blast. I'm starting to become more comfortable on the ice in my skates again, after skating very rarely over the past three or four years, and am a lot more confident than I was earlier this week!

Odell Park's rink. It was rough and had a weird slope
but it was possibly the most fun I have ever had on ice!
