pat on the back...

this afternoon during class, my professor recognized me for my project that i worked on last semester... he was explaining about our project for this semester (pretty much the same thing - we can decide what to do and creativity is encouraged - my kind of project), and he mentioned my project to the class...

i know that kind of stuff shouldn't feel good... i don't want to be accused of being proud... but it felt good to know that my favorite project of my entire life, probably, was recognized as good work...

i guess it kind of comes with an idea that the things we love to do are the things we will pour our hearts into and ultimately have the best results in the end...

all that to say, i appreciate my professor for letting us pick projects that are "us..." and not making me write a research paper... i don't think i've ever been recognized in school for an assignment until today... i've arrived... :)... just kidding!
