Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 147

Today's Daily 5:

1. watching an old episode of the Bachelor late last night
2. laughing over a bunch of blog posts from the southern parts of the US where they don't usually get snow.  one showed a bunch of pictures of children playing in the snow and read simply, "It's snowing so we went outside."  Late last night, in weather that also involved falling snow, but temperatures in the -27C range with windchill, the fact that snow could be that much of a novelty was hilariously funny to me.  I clearly need to relocate to a different climate where I can appreciate snow from a distance or as a novelty!
3. an early bedtime (for me anyway) last night
4. my neck pillow
5. wearing cute earrings today
6. banking via iphone
7. smiling at my first lecture (and all the rest, actually)
8. watching a sign language interpreter (there's a deaf student in one of my classes - how fun to get to experience the interpreter all semester.  signing fascinates me - just another language that I'd love to learn)
9. a winter sunset as I waited for the bus - the colors are so different in winter, and pretty in a much more stark way.
10. An effusive professor, guaranteed for some laughs this semester
11. making a Peruvian friend in one of my classes
12. a short line at the bookstore (not cheap prices, but a short line was nice!)
13. feeling like I'm actually interested in the random classes I signed up to take
14. inside walkways - I can get all over campus, from building to building, without ever going outside
15. a good natural health treatment appointment tonight to wrap up a very full day

First Day

As of this morning, I'm officially a full-time university student again.

Monday's are going to be my full days, with lots of back to back classes, so it'll be interesting to see how it goes.

It feels a bit weird to know that I'm going to be taking first year classes, ten years after my first year of university.  I'm curious to see how odd that feels once I walk into a class that ends up being filled with eighteen year olds.

I'd love your prayers today, and through this semester, as I work and study and prepare to hopefully enter a nursing program in September.
