Biggest stressor at the moment: all the stuff that I was supposed to get done today but didn't

Good things that happened today:
1. I did get some paid work done that I needed to do, and I did laundry, and I called home, so the day wasn't a total bust.
2. Domesticity, yay! I went grocery shopping and cooked dinner with my boyfriend.
3. Staying over at the boyfriend's house tonight. Big bed plus cuddles equals yay.
4. MASSIVELY hot sex this morning, just after a fantastic backrub. Have I mentioned that I adore my boyfriend?
5. I had oatmeal this morning for the first time in AGES.


Other things to be happy about:
1. Being in love.
2. Being loved in return.

Biggest stressor at the moment: Grad school stuff

Good things that happened today:
1. Fencing went pretty well. I messed up a lot, but I could always tell what went wrong (and it wasn't always the same thing over and over) -- and I actually did some stuff right!
2. I had chocolate pudding with sprinkles for dessert with dinner.
3. I FINALLY almost finished with a chunk of the collection that I'm processing (in my role as archivist/historian) at the public service center on campus!

Biggest stressor at the moment: My personal statement. Or my lousy fencing lesson this evening. Can't decide which.


Good things that happened today:
1. I created this blog! Yaaaay! :)
2. I had a really neat experience in the archives (where I am interning) today. They found a bunch of junk under some houses that had been uprooted and moved, and because the houses were on campus the junk went to the University Archives. Well, the archivist decided that it wasn't worth keeping, but we should photograph it before throwing it out. I got the job of photographing. And at the bottom of the pile of stuff was all of these newspapers from 1911 that someone had folded up flowers and plants in to press them! A lot of the papers were dirty, but I have a couple of pages of the San Francisco Chronicle from 1911 and three stalks of dried flowers that are nearly a hundred years old! Way cool.
3. I sent my personal statement and writing sample drafts off to the professor who's going to proofread them. A little nervewracking, but really it's a good thing.

Other things to be happy about:
1. Puppies.
2. My roomate is going to give me this really nice wool to knit with. :) I can make DNA Scarves for my parents and a scarf for my grandmother!
