The good things that have happened this week.

Rather than focusing on the three midterms, the chapter test, the massive essay project, and how I derive much of my sense of self-worth from my academic performance (because really, who wants to hear about that?), I decided to dwell on the good of this awkward week sandwiched between our spring and Easter breaks.

In brief:

—My new phone gets acceptable reception all over campus, and now that we have a text-messaging plan, I can text all of the time. So go ahead and call or text me; chances are I will get your voicemail notification sooner than the five hours later I've been accustomed to!

—My dad brought my bike down Wednesday night and we went to Filippi's and ice cream in Pacific Beach. I really appreciated the one-on-one time, and driving around downtown, and eating a meal outside of the caf . . .

—The leftover pizza made a great dinner the next night, before I went out for frozen yogurt with the newspaper staff. It was a belated birthday celebration for me that had been pre-empted by the pre-spring break workload deluge. We drove out to the famed Yogurt Express where, if you bring the Internet coupon, your total comes out to about $1.50 for a loaded cup of self-served yogurt and toppings.
