Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 207

Today's Daily 5:

1. sweet and funny and insightful blog comments from friends
2. a flexible schedule that let me rearrange my day to make time to some extra studying
3. a moment of laughter over a bizarre comment and it's source
4. a good grade on an exam that I was really, really worried about
5. a text message comeback that literally made me laugh out loud
6. the magnetic powers of earrings strike again
7. getting through a really, really awkward encounter with some degree of poise and grace (and managing, though it took some work, for the aftershocks of that to not ruin my night)
8. the beautiful song "Here by the Water"
9. An evening of fabulous music
10. curling up in a comfy bed, ready to sleep.

Resting in Between

I'm taking an hour or so to vegetate in between obligations today.

I spent a very large chunk of the morning poring over 500 or so Greek word bases in an attempt to store them in my memory before writing a midterm.

Then I wrote the midterm (which went well!).

And now, now I'm taking an hour or so to rest, catch up with some blog reading, and the news out of Japan, and just breathe a little before heading out to my evening plans.

I'm working at a Steve Bell concert tonight.  (If you don't know his music, you should!)  I've worked for Steve every time he's been in Calgary since I was 12.  That adds up to seeing him live probably 20 to 30 times over the years.  Tonight's concert is a release concert for his new album, and I'm quite looking forward to it.  Should be a fun evening, filled with really great music!  Hooray!

And so, since I was puttering online for an hour, I thought I'd stop in and say hi!  I'll be back tonight as usual with the Daily 5!
