Good things that happened today:
1. Had a fantastic and delicious restaurant dinner with the boyfriend. (On the pricey side, too, but hey, we haven't gone out for a while... ;) heck, it was way worth it.)
2. Saw Shall We Dance? (the Japanese version). Fun movie. Now I want to take ballroom dancing lessons...
3. Staying at Jason's tonight. Yay for big beds!
4. Played Katamari Damacy.
5. Had a nice, relaxed, day. I didn't get much work done, but hey, a girl needs a day for herself every once in a while. ...right? :deep, calming breath:
6. Decided which schools I'm applying to, at least for the moment. Yay for one more decision off of my back!
7. Tea!
8. OMG there was the CUTEST puppy on the sidewalk today when we were going out to dinner! It had one of those long, fluffy, lazy, clear-a-coffee-table-in-one-sweep tails, and it looked so happy and wanted to say hi... so in conclusion YAY FOR PUPPIES!!!! :)
9. Read more of Narbonics.

Other things to be happy about:
1. Tea!
2. Puppies!
3. Backrubs!
4. Knitting!

Other things to be happy about:
1. Tomorrow is Friday! I will have my stats final and that evening I will go out for dinner! :)

Good things that happened today:
1. Started my first swatch for my next knitting project. It is pretty. :)
2. Went fencing.
3. Got better help for my knee (though more annoying, as it involves lots of exercises...)
4. Went to talk to my teacher about his comments on my paper, which had had me in tears a while ago. He clarified, made me feel much better about the whole thing (aka the major issue of the entire paper that he pinpointed in his comments wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was), and agreed to read my next draft. Woot woot. :)

Good things that happened today:
1. I FINISHED MY SCARF! It is fuzzy and soft. And DONE!
2. I discovered that the "long tail cast on" I thought I'd need to learn for my next knitting project is actually the only cast on method that I already know.
3. I am playing botgames in the Rinkworks chat room.
4. I have a slight chance of getting to sleep before 11:30... it is slowly disappearing, but currently still extant.

Good things that happened today:
1. Posted in my knitting blog. Am all excited about FINISHING my VERY FIRST PROJECT! :) Also excited about starting the next project.
2. Was at Jason's last night and today. It's always nice to chill with teh BF.
3. IMed a bit with Kayo today. I hadn't talked to her for AGES!
4. Made another editing pass through the paper. Some bits still need minor cleanup, but most of what is left is more major stuff (therefore stuff for which I need to go through the book or take a full day) or stuff on which I need my teacher's clarification. Still need to go over it thoroughly one more time to ensure that I have plenty to say when I meet with the professor on Tuesday...
5. Went to Staples and got another box of those pens I love. I was almost out and I didn't know that there was a Staples around here, so I had thought that I'd have to do without for a while.
6. Played botgames in the Rinkworks chatroom.
