The awesome bulletin board that is above Melissa's desk! 

Happiness Journal (Sept. 7):

• being able to participate finally in #LVPoloFriday (we received a polo at Orientation that people talked about wearing during the school year every Friday; being that we haven't started school yet, today we had students in the building, I figured I could wear it!)
• more eager students coming to find me at the end of the day to get permission slips for the service project
• 3D's: Dinner, Drinks, and Dessert with my LV Alum mentor Amanda at my favorite restaurant in the Bronx --> Bronx Ale House! 
• watching Hot Rod as I fell asleep (Andy Samburg is the man!)
