Happiness is...

1. Desperately needing a calculator, and finding it packed.

2. Sitting in a comfy chair after a long week of exams.

3. Listening to a ticking clock and having nowhere to be.

4. Banana nut bread.

5. Riding a bicycle in a downpour in jeans and a t-shirt.

6. Watching drivers pass with a bewildered look on their face.

7. Making it through another day.

Attention Span

Something that I have been aware of for quite sometime, but not given much thought to, is that I have a relatively short attention span. It could be compared to that of a very small insect, say an ant. Actually, I take that back. Apparently a colony of leaf cutter ants, aided by their use of pheromones and genetically ingrained behavior, are able to take down a tree in under twenty-four hours. That's dedication. A better example would be a squirrel, which apparently can stay on task for a whopping four minutes.

If there is any truth behind wiki.answers, then it is settled. I have a slightly longer attention span than that of a small, tree-dwelling rodent. My point? There's room for improvement.
