So, it's back to blogging. At the most inconvenient time possible. Naturally.

It's all psychological, really. I have a Sunny-D midterm in less than 24 hours and paper in less than 48, and yet I've managed to convince myself that my blog should somehow take precedence over them.

The pursuit of academic excellence is highly overrated.
And I am in dire need of cold medicine.

On the brighter side,

* I went home for Fall Break and saw my brother play hockey and soccer. I also went to my grandma's 80th birthday party. And I got to see one of my best friends. And go shopping with my mom. And catch a cold.

* Dried cranberries taste good if you give them a chance.

* Mitch Hedberg makes me laugh. He also makes me want to wash his mouth out with soap. Sometimes he does both at the same time.

* Cate Larsen made a lovely dinner for her advisees over at Ben's house last night, and I definitely benefited from her culinary pursuits -- well done, Cate!

* If you're ever having a bad day, you should go check out Dean's collection of wigs. Trying them on and taking pictures would probably help, too.

* Warm, fuzzy sweaters on cold, rainy days are a beautiful thing.

* My roommate made me some sort of ginger spice tea this morning, and it was super-yummy.

* Yay for finding out that a dear friend is coming to visit -- THIS WEEKEND!

* It's fun to have an inside, secret sort-of joke that makes people giggle and smile, even if it is in front of everyone. Because even if other people notice you grinning like a goofball, only those certain people really know what's so funny, anyway.

* Midterms do not make me happy. They should not count on this "on the brighter side" list.

Alright, I've avoided it long enough. I really should get some studying done.
Perhaps I'll be inclined to update at a more convenient, logical point in time.

But probably not.

Love!
