appreciate everything

... so that's a pretty tall order, but I will try.

Things I've done recently:

• ran 2-3 miles twice
• biked to the Berkeley Marina
• watched Thank You For Smoking
• hiked at Mt. Diablo
• sat at the Berkeley Rose Garden
• made food a couple times (and the subjects are still alive!)
• started reading Chinese
• went to "sweet potatoes" with my family and our family friends (yes I realize it's sweet tomatoes, but my dad can't get it right and I think it's cute)
  

Life is good. And it's time to stop worrying and just have fun. As for next year, it seems like I will have been graduated by this time next year. If the classes really decide to be stupid, I think I'm commuting or something to finish up, unless I make enough money to live in Berkeley. Or I'll do a credentialing program of sorts. Or something.

I hope my appreciation shows through the endless teasing. I hope he knows. I hope I know. Truly know, not just "know" for the sake of knowing.

Choir's going to be wonderful, "social rehearsals" = fun stuff. Great people, fabulous friends. BareStage is kicking off on Wednesday. School's just getting started, even if it may end soon for me.

I will sleep more. Starting now. Thanks for listening.
