good day sunshine

the beatles wrote "good day sunshine." probably just words they came up that went with the chords while they were jamming with their friends. however, couldn't be more true than my life today. when i woke up, the clouds were out, streaming around the sky. it was cold, humid, and felt like rain. now we could use rain because as i found out today in my oceanic and atmospheric science class, we have not had rain in 21 days, but because of my recent breakdown regarding biomolecular chemistry, i was hoping for a sunny day.

sure enough, later in the day, after my depressing class on racism, the sun came out. my day began to brighten. my biomolecular chemistry discussion clarified some of the points i had been missing last night, and i found someone who wants to study with me tonight in lu of the grand exam tomorrow. then the TA for my next class lectured and he was funny. comedic lecturers always make the class time pass in a way that's manageable, along with enjoyable. i think i might have actually retained the information spoken of in that lecture. another class down and quite interesting... it also ended a few minutes early which helped me to catch the bus over to the medical building- securing my punctuality to my last two classes of the day.

here i am, writing my blog and in quite a good mood because of the sunshine. now i'm not 100% sure that was the sole provider of my happiness, but one this is for certain- those beatles, not matter how drugged up they were, knew something about the direct correlation between good days and sunshine.
