Speaking of amazing, despite my crappy track record for sleeping well, I've been making good on my New Year's Resolution #4: Spending good time with good people. And I realize that this is actually more simple than I think it is, because I don't actually mean good "organized time," I just mean...even a few, brief moments of happy encounters count toward a "good time."
I guess that's why this quarter has been so lovely thus far—a performance of intimate chamber music, unexpected catchings-up with former students, an enlightening talk, a piping hot meal out, just running into people (though not literally) while walking about campus and the neighborhood...oh, what good times! And really, what little planning they all require!
To be fair, I'm far too lazy to actually plan and organize things, and I'm not socially driven enough to desire spending that much time with most people out there anyway. (Ha!) But I guess what all this makes me realize is...I am grateful for the friends I have, for they really are all good people.
[Even the moonlight is incredibly bright here in La Jolla...and when you can see the moon rising over the new building on campus (what is it for again?), it almost makes you forget how poorly budgeting works around here...]
