Looking at the bright side(s)

Example:  I overslept and had no time for breakfast this morning.  Bright side:  I got some much-needed extra sleep  :)

And I wasn't even hungry afterwards  :)  In the morning, there was cake in the lobby on my way to class, and there were two kinds of cake, so I had to eat one piece of each kind (you can't put two different kinds of food in front of me and ask me to pick one); in the afternoon, there was chocolate in my Comm class (thank you Marylou!); after classes, I walked across campus to the Registrar's office to turn in my registration card for Spring, and there they had cake again!  Probably to celebrate students who go register on the first day, a.k.a. me  :)

And this is the kind of stuff that keeps happening to me every single time I have to do something like skipping breakfast, which is why I can keep looking at the bright side of everything  :)

More stuff to feel bright about that happened today:  The last two volumes of compulsory reading for my Master's thesis---"Das deutsche Drama" in two volumes by Benno von Wiese---arrived in the mail (thank you, Barbara!).  I'm hoping to finish reading them before the semester is over and get started with writing the thesis over Christmas!

And still to come today:  Poetry slam during 7--9 PM at the Moose!  And I'm feeling awake enough to go watch it.  Because I got extra sleep this morning  :)
