Daily 5 - Day 354

Today's Daily 5:
An introduction to the Daily 5 lists can be found here.
  1. leftover pad thai for supper - I quite honestly looked forward to this all day, and it was incredibly satisfying when I sat down after my anatomy quiz to a big bowl of it.
  2. passed the anatomy quiz - I find the quizzes the most nerve wracking - they're done orally by phone, and translating my thoughts into spontaneous spoken words on demand is NOT my strength.  don't get me wrong, I can carry a conversation, but stringing words together in a pressure situation?  no thank you.  give me a written test or quiz any day of the week.  that said, the feeling of relief when the quiz was done and I knew I'd passed was truly a beautiful thing.
  3. home for the remainder of the evening after the quiz. no homework, just catching up on a few emails, and resting and breathing a little.
  4. candles all over my bedroom again.
  5. clean sheets and pajamas to crawl into for sleeping tonight.
  6. loving a "sleep cycle" app on my iphone, and amused by how relatively accurately it graphs my sleep.
  7. cleaning up my email box after getting quite behind for a few weeks while I was a bit overwhelmed by life - I've been chipping away at this all week, and tonight finally managed to pare it down to the level of unread/unhandled messages/tasks that I prefer to keep it at.
  8. my St. Clare of Assisi medal
  9. catching up on some podcast listening while I worked through emails and other stuff tonight.
  10. a brief chat with a dear friend

Always a Good Word

Hope is always a good word.  And I loved how Claudia Mair Burney expressed it here.

Just Because

Life remains a little crazy, and my brain is definitely on overload as I work to absorb the necessary material for this week's quiz, assignment and exam.  So, because I have no brain power left to write a blog post, for today, just because it amused me, I'm sharing another quiz.

You Are a Geek




You definitely have some nerdy ways, but you've evolved into something way cooler - a geek.

You are free spirited and quirky. You're proud of who you are, and you've got style.

You may not fit in completely, but you don't have any problems socializing.

You're witty, smart, and very knowledgable. You believe that everyone should embrace their inner geek!
