The Daughters of Isabella

This is all I've been able to think about yesterday and now this morning. I'm absolutely thrilled that we're getting a college circle started here at Saint Mary's--just another way women can develop those awesome sisterhood bonds with each other. What's even more is that at the meeting last night with all the International Regents (SOME CAME DOWN FROM CANADA), I'm about 99.99% sure that there was an equal amount of Notre Dame women to supplement the number of Saint Mary's women that showed up for the meeting. Can you believe it? Can it be that we may have found a way to help demolish the huge wall between Notre Dame women and Saint Mary's women?

I woke up at 8 am today involuntarily. I had my alarm set for 7:30 with the intention of heading to breakfast with the regents, but I couldn't drag myself out of bed. Sharon let me sleep. As soon as she left, however (literally as she shut the door behind her), I noticed that I was sweating and wanted the window open. So I got up and tried to open it...and it wouldn't open. This was because I was so far below it (BLAST my short gene!). I battled with it for a few minutes and finally triumphed. A fresh breeze hit me in the face with the smell of spring rain, and I realized I was awake. I made some coffee and started working on various homework items.

An hour ago, I truly believed, as the Phantom Planet song goes, that today would be a lonely day.

Now, I believe the exact opposite.

I have constructed my Spring 2007 playlist in iTunes. I've got the FEVER... :-D
