I don't think I can really articulate why I'm so happy right now. I guess it's the mix of caffeine and friends and deciding not to worry anymore about the (questionably finished) paper I turned in an hour and a half ago.
Turning in the paper was a pretty epic experience in itself -- running through the library a couple minutes after 2 am, pounding on locked doors and eventually pleading my case to a tired security officer, who told me I could get to the 4th floor by elevator; finally dropping my hastily-printed paper in the box outside my professor's door; running all the way back down to the ground level, through the surreally dark cafe, and making it out the front door just behind the last library employee and fumbling my coat on out in the frozen air.
Then, of course, I had so much nervous energy that when my backpack came unzipped I dropped all my notebooks on the sidewalk; but that was good too, because it made me stop for a second and collect everything.
And then the CS lab in King, which never closes because I have the combination (and which is starting to feel a little bit too much like home), where I had a dance party to Pink and finally calmed down enough to start finishing my lab.
And here I am, still wildly, amazingly happy, and perhaps going to sleep tonight or something! Life is pretty darn good.
P.S. I don't know if I'd actually describe myself as "giddy" per se, but the alien-thingy's crazy eyes were just too weird to pass up.
