Win, Lose, or Draw

So let's recap what's happened in the past three months (give or take):
  • Broke up with the girl of my dreams after 3.5 years (lose)
  • Moved, kind of, but ended up staying in the house (draw)
  • Lost 20 lbs and got into great shape (win)
  • Went to the ER because I passed out at work (lose)
  • Got a new job and a promotion (win)
  • Started IAAS class which took up a lot of my time (draw)
  • Went to ER again for a nasty cut on the leg (lose)
  • Hit 82% of my fundraising goal and still going (win)
  • Won the Best Roller of the Year for season one Brewskeeball (win)
  • Car broken into (lose)
  • Didn't lose my cool even though the window was smashed out (win)
  • Threw a successful "house warming" party for Luisa and Matt's Bday (win)
  • Find out that the ex is engaged (draw)
  • Find solace in the fact that she is happy, and that's a good thing (win)
  • Cut the crap out of my finger and end up in the ER once again - five stitches (lose)
  • Meet some really nice new friends through all my trials and tribulations (win)
  • Got a free ticket to see RENT (win)
  • Won IAAS best presentation (win)
  • Won IAAS best student (win)
  • Got a free ticket on Virgin America to anywhere they fly (win)
I am tempted to add up the wins and losses, but that's not what's really important; what's important is how I feel now. Reflecting on these past months and everything that's happened (this list isn't even complete), I actually feel really good about everything, and I feel happy about life (win).
