28. An email from Tim stating that he’s alright. Well, just the email alone made my day.

29. Volcano (crabstick tempura with spicy mayo and spicy tuna) and shrimp tempura maki (and gyoza!) from Sato Japanese Cuisine for my twenty-second birthday!

30. The fantastic friends who attended the unbirthday on December 2nd and made it all worth it.

31. Everyone who called or wished me a Happy Birthday.

32. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. (And very naturally the person who sent the imps as a Christmas present).

33. Reflecting on the great times I had with Tim. (Which also had something to do with , which I’ll explain in an entry there).

34. Being able to point out where I want to head next in life. I may not be able to see the path clearly, but I have a better idea of what I want and what I do not want.

35. The despair of not being able to guide a close friend out of relationship woes. But remembering that I’m experiencing something similar and knowing that we both have one another to work through this and we’ve got our other friends. It’s a matter of support.

36. Oil painting for the first time.

37. Taking a break from working on a tiny perfume rack I’m putting together out of wood and scrapbooking to update my journal (or 43Things in this case).

38. Filing for graduation.
