It’s that time of the semester when I can’t do much more than complain about grading, be tired and wait impatiently for finals. Instead, this is an exercise in thinking about happy things.

Happy thing #1: President-elect Obama.

Happy thing #2: Living in a newly blue state.

Happy thing #3: Thanks to Scott, even though I’m overloaded at work, there’s still food to eat and a clean house.

Happy thing #4: Cancun. We have booked 4 days of cheesy resort vacationing as soon as the semester is over.

Okay, I feel better.
