Little things
I found virtual desktop software that doesn't break Win7, my fingers still smell like my clarinet (and my lip is kinda tender), and I got into Leadership and Ethics (which is taught by the presidents of Olin, Babson, and Wellesley, and only has 8 spots for the entire senior class). Not bad. -

First day of class
