Personal Post

The last few days have not been great. I did terribly on one of my exams and still have two more to take this week. I have also been getting annoying headaches. Not the greatest condition to be in when tests are session. Still, there are little things that made my week enjoyable; the weekly ice cream sundae I treat myself to on Fridays and read a letter from a friend. I love sending letters to people. Though only a few respond, I find that hearing back from them, that the stories I share with them make them smile, makes me feel a little accomplished inside.
Perhaps my favorite part of the week was seeing the tricycle parked outside my building actually being ridden around. I was walking behind the person pedaling away, the plastic tires scratching as they picked up speed. Everyone who saw him either smiled, laughed or looked on in disbelief. Though the rest of my week was terrible, every time I thought of that little tricycle being ridden by a guy at least my age, I just couldn't help but appreciate how something so simple could make me smile so much.
