Music: Savage Garden Affirmation
Reading: Grabbe -- something about Jewish history around the birth of Christ
Current stress level (scale of 1-10): 8

Good things that happened today:
1. I saw a hawk! I was biking past the business school, and saw it swoop up to perch on top of a statue. So I stopped, maybe 10 feet away or less, and watched it. Then it flew to a nearby tree branch. I followed it. I was probably like 6 feet away from it, and it looked right at me -- eye contact with a predator is vaguely unnerving. Then it started hunching up and waving its head back and forth, which I took to mean it didn't like me staring at it. So I took off. But it was way cool.
2. Went to fencing, caught up with some people I hadn't seen in a while.
3. Did laundry.
4. Ate chocolate.
