The last minute

Today was a day of hasty transitions; none was more crucially accomplished than the most recent. Instead of pounding off to school at 9 as I considered doing, I enjoyed my Tuesday morning at home by having a leisurely breakfast and tending to some dish duties. I dragged my feet a little too much, though, and had to throw my effects together in order to get down to the bus stop on time because we have a quiz or test in thermo every Tuesday and I am of course loathe to miss a class anyway. Driving would have done me little good since all the spaces are taken by 9. I programmed for a while in the lab after thermo but I (and this is not unusual) had to grab my bag and rush to physics when I realized that it was almost time for class to start. Good thing Morse Hall is close to DeMeritt! But the greatest excitement came 45 minutes ago when my study buddy Jason and I wrapped up a homework session and ran out of Morse just in time for me to flag down the last bus to Dover as it pulled away from the bus stop. School is so much more fun the second time around.

I felt a little scratchy this morning so I have to be careful with my body. A cold may be inevitable but I will put all of my resources toward avoiding it for as long as possible. I keep telling myself that one of these years, I will make it a full winter without getting sick if I can just pay attention to myself. 

So on that note, I'll have some tea and go to bed!
