Good things

• I got locked out of my room for the third time today. No. I know what you are thinking, wasn't me losing keys, it was the lock losing it marbles. Ha! Today I demanded my lock be changed and it was done in less than 30 minutes. Good job Keble College.
• More buds and flowers on the trees outside. Keep it up nature.
• I love WORD. I definately am still a WordPerfect girl, but, I gotta say, that footnote feature is so easy, and really really fun. Hey if you are studying most of your days, its the little things that really help you out. You know?
• I am writing about the Essenes, a Jewish sect in the time of Jesus. So, I do need a lot of footnotes with these classical sources. and boy is it fun. I am not joking.
• Tea instead of coffee today. I switch about every two weeks, it's always a trade off between bad coffee and good tea. I like them about the same.
• Essay titles - 3 for Judaism (5,000 word essays due in June) and 1 for Christianity (15,000 word dissertation due in Sept.). These have stressed me out more than you could possibly imagine and in ways that you don't want me to explain. They are in the final draft phase, all I need is 3 signatures from various supervisors, and to pass the 'faculty review board' or something, and then... well then I start working on them. But, the thing is! They are due on Friday, and they are almost done. The horrible gnawing in my stomach from the past 2 months is starting to subside!!!!!
• So, in all, still working hard...but I see a light... and i'm in a tunnel...it is distant... but it is there..!
