Quote: "When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty." – George Bernard Shaw

Good things that happened today:
1. Good breakfast.
2. Fencing practice went pretty well. People went along with a couple of exercises I made them do, and seemed to get really into the potentially corniest of them (pick a teammate who's done something really great over the past week and congratulate them in front of everyone else) by the end of it, which was really exciting. I'm pumped. I really think that we can pull together. Here's hoping that we do. God knows I'll be trying as hard as I can to make sure that it happens.
3. Got a fair amount of work done.

Good things that happened today:
1. Got knitting done.
2. Got to stare at a shirtless Daniel Day-Lewis for part of class (we watched a clip from The Last of the Mohicans). Yummy. I still maintain that he would make the perfect Louis if another movie were ever made from The Vampire Chronicles.
3. Lunch with Jason.
4. Tea, Dickens, puppy, and kitten (which I SWEAR has like doubled its size in the past week)!
5. Finished my midterm! Yaaaaaay!
