The ups, the downs, the ins, the outs, the whatnot.

I'll let you do the categorizing:

• the fact that several students told me they appreciated the opportunity to consult with me
• the fact that all my students remembered and attended their conferences
• the fact that I was prepared for all the conferences today
• the fact that I completely forgot a meeting that I had at 3 p.m.
• the fact that I ate an apple with cheese for lunch
• the fact that I ate Starbucks oatmeal AGAIN for breakfast because I am obsesssssed with it
• the fact that my colleague said I looked tired today
• the fact that I did, in fact, look tired today
• the fact that I am grading, still, at 11:25 p.m., in bed
• the fact that the historian gave a great lecture at the downtown library tonight
• the fact that we got french fries on the way home
• the fact that the Jazz won, but it won't matter

The fact that there was sun. The fact that there was no snow. The fact that I'm in bed, even if grading. The fact that I'll be getting up before the sun for more conferences. The fact that I will be eating Starbucks oatmeal again for breakfast, because I am obsessssssssed with it.
