Wednesdays are notoriously long at the law school, and while my Wednesday isn't as long as those of some of my classmates, I still don't much look forward to it.
Today, however, was wonderful. The weather was gorgeous and I loaded up my mountain bike and all my gear in the morning before class so that I was ready to hit the singletrack as soon as I was free. I haven't mountain biked since March and it felt so good to be back out there. Cruising along on the trails, flying over roots and logs, nearly running into deer and rabbits... god I love mountain biking. Had a couple near crashes but the worst that happened was I almost collided with some idiotchild going the wrong way on the trail. I ended up having to slam on the breaks and turn off into the shrubbery.... which happened to be stinging nettles! Ouch!!
But I survived and came home to study and eat and study summore. The boyfriend is here slaving away in an attempt to fix my computer. I feel totally loved and taken care of in the geekiest of ways. He's a saint.
Soon I will pull the covers up on this wonderful day and hope for an even better one tomorrow. I love the feeling of slipping off to sleep knowing that I made the most of today's waking hours. Work hard, play hard. Sleep happy.
