- sunrise on snowy mountains in the distance
- eating my favorite vietnamese noodles while sitting in a hallway at the university and watching The Amazing Race
- taking a minute to thank a prof for a class I really enjoyed
- having a seat to myself and being able to doze on the bus, when I just couldn't stay fully awake
- swedish meatballs with lingonberry and gravy for supper at Ikea ($2.99!)
- a hot bath
- reading a new novel
- laughing with friends at the first hockey game I've attended in probably 16 years (my brother J was playing in a championship game, and scored the winning goal!)
- an extra night staying at mom and dad's this week
- curling up in bed with warm magic bags on my feet and back

Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 238
Today's Daily 5:
Busy
I'm having the kind of day where my thoughts are running a thousand directions at once.
I'm pondering some teaching on Islam that I've received over the last several Sunday evenings, and the ways that that teaching is completely contradictory to other things that I've heard and read.
I'm thinking about an appointment I had on the weekend, and balancing relationships and health and boundaries and all that good stuff.
I'm sitting in a classroom, waiting for the last of a series of Monday morning tutorials to begin. A series of tutorials that I will absolutely NOT miss an hour from now when they've concluded. The sort of tutorials where the Teaching Assistant one spent 20 minutes working to impart the point that "pop culture tries to influence us." Not exactly a stunning revelation.
It's the last week of classes. I have one more term paper to write. And then five final exams. Throw in a part-time job, various and sundry health appointments, a few yoga classes, a teaching commitment at house church, my brother's graduation from Bible school, a friend's wedding, Easter, and I can't even remember what else, and it definitely promises to be a busy next three weeks.
That, of course, means that I have no idea what blogging will look like during that time, other than, of course, the Daily 5.
Wish me luck! A lot rides on these exams...
