Today Is a Great Day

1. I got this in the mail from the bestest friend anyone could ever ask for:

 (If you can't see, it says "Ellen's Ultimate Fort Building Kit")

*grin*

2. My English professor sent us an email saying that we were going to have a panel discussion in class on hair and how that relates to gender and post-colonial oppression and identity, and I was super skeptical, but daaaaaaamn. We had three incredible black women talk to us about their experiences with hair, and it captivated me for the whole two hours. I felt both amazed and sooo ignorantly white at the end of that class.

3. I got to hug a friend that I just really wanted to hug all break long.
