Joy

Every once in awhile I get a chance to take a break from my busy schedule and have lunch with my girlfriend. Each one of these experiences is absolutely wonderful. Today was an exceptionally joyous occasion. I'm not really sure why. I was walking around The Hub, looking for my girlfriend, feeling a bit lonely, and a bit impatient with the giant crowds of freshmen who just stand around and don't let you walk past, when I saw her standing by a table, looking up expectantly at me. Something in her face or just the fact that she was there made me really happy! Lunch was filled with wonderful pre-packaged "italian" food and conversation. Romance ensued :)

This emotion was definitely pleasant. I would say the highlight of my day in fact! Of course the rest of my day wasn't that wonderful -_-

This emotion was of really high intensity but lasted for a very short moment. An acute joyous emotion you may say. It also left me in a better mood for a few hours afterwards (until the boredom of work overtook me).

You could attribute the cause of my emotion to my girlfriend. Perhaps in the way she was looking at me, or the way she was dressed and standing waiting for me. I would not consider it spontaneous.
