The Best Part of Today

Hopefully this will become a new routine for me. Inspired by one of my favorite blogs, 1000AwesomeThings.com, I've decided to post what I think is the best part of the past day. It started with hearing the Lord of the Rings score playing in the Whitney Dining hall at Uconn yesterday morning, which I quite enjoyed as opposed to the normal regimen of pop radio music that blares over the speakers. I decided to IM the InstantDaily, a list of im's to Uconn's newspaper, the Daily Campus, saying that was the best part of my day. The today I had another thought with the same heading, so here goes:

The Best Part of Today:

Walking to and from class barefoot.

People were already staring at me because of the frilly sky-and-royal blue dress (http://bit.ly/d8COZO) I was wearing for the Dramatic PAWS dance I was headed to before class, but my adorable blue shoes are more sinister than they look, and delved into their malicious side by ferociously gnawing at the tender skin right above my big toe and the back of my ankle. So, I went barefoot. It was 70˚ and had just rained so the slick grass and smooth pavement beneath my feet was quite refreshing. Plus apparently walking barefoot is good for you mitochondria, according to the Discovery channel show "Dual Survival." Nice job mitochondria, you got a good workout today. (http://bit.ly/aSD7kN)
