today was my first day of school but i'm still in California. what to do, what to do? i emailed my instructors to explain my situation and all is well. Wish me luck this semester, and hopefully this will be my last year at ASU.

after my workout this morning I went to the gym daycare to pick up ~S~ and i saw the CUTEST thing. there were about forty kids in the room, and ~S~ was sitting in the middle of the floor sharing a toy with another little girl. ~S~ wore her hair natural today so it was big and curly just like the little girl she was playing with. i thought it was so cute that the only two little brown girls in the daycare chose each other to play with. anyway, when ~S~ saw me walk into the gym daycare she ran to me with a big smile on her face. i asked her if she said good-bye to her new friend so she turned around, and the two girls ran to each other with open arms, smiling from cheek to cheek, and gently embraced each other. I told the little girl ~S's ~ name, and asked both girls to look for each other the next time they were at the gym so that they could play together. while ~S~ and I walked to the car i told her how happy i was that out of all the other children at daycare that she chose ~L~ to play with. i love that ~S~ is good at making friends wherever she goes.
