Little accomplished, my b

Well, my to-do list remains fairly undone, unfortunately. I started my day curled up on a couch on the top floor of the Tuttlemen Center (if you're a student at Temple and have not checked out the lounge on the fourth floor of Tuttlemen, I suggest you do - it makes for a great, quiet studying area with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a great view of the Northeast Philly skyline) reading for my Political Science course. 

Later in the day, I ended up in Center City with a few girls, we stopped at Anthropologie for a while and then sat in one of the thousands of Starbucks crammed inside the city. Alas, due to the fact that I have essentially a few quarters and dimes to my name, I wasn't able to buy anything to update my wardrobe nor was I able to purchase my first holiday Peppermint Mocha of the season from Starbucks, but it was nice getting away from campus, at the very least.

I ended my day with a trip to the gym with my roommate and some broccoli and cheddar soup, and I'm currently nestled into the covers on my bed, which is just fine with me.

So, while I didn't end the day as accomplished as I originally intended, I can offer up one piece of advice in regards to something that my mind has been stumbling upon more and more lately: do not be afraid of your own company. Appreciate yourself, appreciate alone time. It is better to be in your own company than in the company of those who don't appreciate you.

Oh, and as for the picture at the top - tonight just seemed like a "Goodnight Moon" night. Go back and revisit the book! Or just go here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F97is-K4n8) and appreciate the book in visual terms. It will comfort you. Kid stuff always does.

Keep calm,

Sarah
