Absent-minded

Today I am very happy. I think that it's mostly because it's December 2nd here in Edmonton, and there is no snow... in fact, it is raining outside. Not sure why rain has the ability to make me so happy, especially when I do like snow... maybe it's because I can still ride my bicycle to school just as easily as I did in October. Actually, easier. October had snow. Second, except for one small online discussion to complete, I have just finished all of the assignments, presentations, reports, essays, etc. etc. that are due for the entire term. Ah, sweet release. Classes end next Wednesday, and for the next three weeks until I go home for Christmas, I can spend it studying like a madman, working, doing a bit of volunteer work, going to many a Christmas party, writing a few exams, and above all, swimming. Haven't been able to swim every day for so long. Life is good. And I am just going to sit here and appreciate it because I know my next term is likely to be h_ll on wheels. So, that's basically what my post is about today. I am happy and appreciating how nice it is to be happy.
And, finally, to the greatest mum in the world: Happy Birthday!!!!
