Daily 5 - Day 349

Today's Daily 5:
  1. that rare grin that comes in the middle of writing an exam when you realize you studied exactly that question, and can answer it with absolute clarity and certainty.
  2. the relief of finishing an exam I'd dreaded
  3. fresh blueberries
  4. a postcard of the Sistine Chapel that L mailed to me from the Vatican.  She told me that she'd been told that if you spent only 1 minute looking at each individual piece of art in the Vatican museums, it would take 13 years to view all of the art.  This is a challenge I think I'd love to fulfill someday.  Does anyone know how I can bankroll 13 (more actually, factoring in the need to eat and sleep and have bathroom breaks) years in Italy doing nothing more than hanging out at the Vatican museums?
  5. time spent in good conversation at house church tonight

Another Day

Schoolwork is somewhat all consuming at the moment.

Add that to limited energy again as I work through some emotionally draining stuff, and I'm finding myself generally with few words.

I'm struggling to find words even for those I share life with on a daily basis, online or "in real life" (or both!)

Last night I re-took an anatomy quiz from last weekend that did not go well.  I passed the retake, and that was pretty much all I was looking for.

This morning I wrote an anatomy midterm on the same material.

A week from today I write another anatomy midterm.  Before that midterm I have another quiz, and an assignment to submit.  And before the quiz and the assignment, I have five chapters of material to absorb.

All that to say that it might be a little quiet around here for the next week or so, again.  Unless I manage to find time on the weekend to schedule some posts.

But I am still reading emails and comments, and they're often making me smile.

So there's that, I guess.
