First week of grad school...check!

Do you ever have the moments of just pure joy?

I mean they are awesome, but they only seem to happen for a few moments at a time.

This week was not an example of that.

This week was more than just a few moments.

It was minutes, hours and days of pure joy.

It is THE BEST feeling I have ever felt.

EVER.

Bar none.

Unbeatable.

(at least by any previous experience I have ever had)

So what is my ultimate prescription for happiness?

Doing the thing you love the most in the right place at the right time.

Right now the thing I love most is school.

The place is BYU

and the time is now.

I walk on campus and I am overwhelmed with happiness.

To the point of spontaneous giggling...when I am all by myself.

(first day of school)

So I just keep walking, because it doesn't seem possible that this feeling will stay and I want to relish every second.

But it does stay.

For hours and hours,

and days and days.

Until, I reach the end of the week and realize this is the best week I can remember.

(later in the week)

Even though I was sick,

even though the classes are hard,

even though I'm working two jobs.

It doesn't feel like a trial right now.

Just the biggest blessing EVER.

Part of those amazing blessing this week was my job..s :)

I work as a Teaching Assistant for the Introduction to Archaeology course.

I also work for the Office of Public Archaeology.

I call them Job 1 and Job 2 

(like Thing 1 and Thing 2)

My jobs are awesome.

On Friday I got to go to the basement of the museum where I work (Job 2) which is so old school awesome I could barely contain myself.  

So cool.

I also like that everyday that I go in, I find something random.

I mentioned it before a few weeks ago.

But here is another example.

Apparently we are the most awesome dorks on the planet.

Also on Wednesday, I was walking into job 2 and heard the Indiana Jones soundtrack blaring from inside the museum.

The early morning custodial crew had it on.

It truly made my morning.

On Thursday I was printing an article off in the basement of a building on campus.

A guy and I started talking while we waited for my file to print.

When he found out my major he asked if I ever went to the MPC (Museum of Peoples and Cultures).

I said that I worked there.

He remarked that he did as well but that he was an early morning custodian.

Click.

He is the dude that plays Indiana Jones in the morning.

I seriously wanted to bow down to him when I realized he was the awesome person that made my morning.

I asked him about it, he said he was 'that guy' and we both laughed about how impossible it was that we would run into each other so randomly.

Small world I guess.

Good times.

Unbelievably good times.
