I had the best conversation with Ambika a couple days ago. It has been a very long time since we've had a good conversation, and oh how I cherish them. I especially cherish them because they're few and far between, but the smiles that last for days afterwards are really something. I felt like our friendship was gradually ceasing to exist, and then some mysterious entity comes with a defibrillator and revives our friendship. It's not even the things she says (even though she makes me laugh out loud in the library) but just knowing that she's on the receiving end of my words and I have her attention. After our good conversations, I have this permanent smile for days afterwards. As cheesy as that sounds. I think why I'm so happy is because my life resolution is to have better relationships with those I care about, and our conversations exemplify this. Life's good. It's Thanksgiving break, and I don't have a care in the world for 2 more days. Gobble gobble. gobble. gobble.

For some reason, I have never ever described myself as ambitious. When I hear about people being ambitious, I think, "I wish I were ambitious." But I do a lot. A lot, a lot. I am doing everything I need to be doing to get where I want to go...and then some. I am driven, and I'm acting on my drive. Why didn't I realize before that I am ambitious? I can be lazy, I suppose, and I always regret it. But I'm happy to have a new adjective to describe my whole person. I usually use "cheerful, positive, passionate," but now I can add to it. Cool. Yay!
