Daybook- February 8

I have seen this idea on a number of blogs that I have read and decided to try it out myself. The original idea comes from Peggy Hostetler at the Simple Woman's Daybook. http://thesimplewomansdaybook.blogspot.com/

Outside my window- it's right around 5pm and the sun is still up (it was 5pm when I wrote this- it took awhile before I got back to the computer and was able to figure out putting in a picture- it's now around 9:30pm)! It's creating beautiful patterns in the clouds as well :) For the girl who doesn't do well in the fall with the slowly-decreasing amount of sun, January-June is the most hopeful time of the year :)

I am thinking- not too much

I am thankful for- how my illness has forced me to get plenty of rest

I am wearing- a purple long-sleeved hooded shirt with a tie-dyed tank top underneath and brown pants :)

I am creating- not much at the moment

I am going- to the Runk Green Room soon for Hereford's Chinese New Year Celebration. It feels weird to not go to Tuesday Supper for two weeks in a row.

I am reading- a ton of stuff for class

I am hoping- I'm not quite sure: I don't particularly want the doctor to confirm that I do actually have mono but I also want the diagnosis so I can have an explanation for what's been wrong with me for the last ten days

I am hearing- the random assortment of noises that come with living in a hall with 28 other girls. In just the past few minutes, I have heard Kathryn talking, Maryam laughing (she is loud!), and multiple doors opening and closing.

A few plans for the rest of the week- reading for class, lots of sleep to recover, Curry School of Education and Semester at Sea applications, History major declaration form

Picture- Still working on figuring out how to upload pictures. My iPhoto is currently being annoying and won't let me publish to Facebook, nor can I figure out how to find the file for photos on my Mac without dragging the picture to the desktop, which functions but I'd like to figure out how it's supposed to work.
