I...

... just had a beautiful 26 hours.

From 1:30 Sunday morning until 3:30 Monday morning.

The sort of hours that leave you rejuvenated, feeling good about life.

Hours filled with amazing food, a long walk in the park, sleepy warm sunshine naps, and comfortable conversations.

In this crazy world we call graduate school we prioritize differently. Your days are filled with mundane grading, hours spent down in the research lab, and hours staring at a computer screen. And suddenly those few hours where you get to laugh and play become so much more valuable.

And you learn to cherish them so much more.
