Quality of the day: Excellent

Days excellent: 1
Days not: 0
Streak: 1


Health: I got a great sleep, allowing myself to rise naturally without an alarm clock, ate a healthy breakfast, refrained from eating candy, worked out, ate a healthy lunch, and wore earplugs during the concert.

Material circumstances: I sorted out some things with my new bank account, made an initial deposit, updated my accounting books, made a phone call pertaining to my job search, interviewed someone regarding the same thing, and wrote an e-mail and letter to thank them. I was also frugal today and spent no unnecessary money.

Wisdom/Understanding: I read a chapter of Anna K, listened to NPR this morning, and read an article in Fortune magazine while waiting for my sister to fill out paperwork for her laptop repair. The interview also counts as a boost of understanding. I guess the concert gave me things to reflect about, which may lead to understanding.

Relationships: I spent somewhat quality time with all three of my immediate family members today, chatted with Dan and Will, and wrote an e-mail to Eva.

Improving the State of the World: This category was weak today. It will probably be weak for a while. I tried to be a good person around my family and my dad's friends--not swearing excessively and being polite. I made a point to be polite to the service people I interacted with today, i.e, at the bank, the repair place, concert, etc. One negative thing happened under the duress of my dad, which was when we were pulling out of the venue parking lot, I cut people off left and right because he was being impatient and telling me to go. I should have done what I thought was right and disregarded him, but that's not easy, especially when it's your dad.

Happiness: The concert was meant to bring happiness, but I don't like concerts that much anymore. It was loud, crowded, and idiotic, in a way. I liked Alice in Chains--they played a good set--but overall it was as harsh as it was enjoyable. Anna K and the rain made me happy. My egg rolls made me happy too.

Ok, breaking down posts by "ends" is too cumbersome, so I probably won't do that again. I will try to keep th excellent days count going.
