A Golden Day

Short post today, just to acknowledge that today was a "Golden Day." These are the sort of days that often go unremembered because it is just an ordinary day and over time you may relive the tiniest snippets of the memory, but can't quite grasp when these things actually occurred. So today was a "Golden Day" for several reasons:

1) It was a lovely spring day- not raining, the perfect temperature of 23 degrees (aka: jeans and t-shirt weather) and it was sunny.

2) After nine weeks of completely being overwhelmed with essays and assignments, the last of the the bulk of it was due yesterday, so I entered today without having to do any homework whatsoever, which is an absolutely brilliant feeling. Also, it was the first day of the mid-semester break, which goes for a week before the semester resumes, but this means a week of relaxation and the opportunity to catch up with friends who I haven't seen in ages. Which leads to...

3) It has been a month since I had band practise, and today we finally met up. I missed everyone so much, because we are like a family and they are all so important to me. And to make it even better, we ended up being really productive and wrote an entire song in under an hour. It was a team effort to, which makes it all the more special.

4) This is the reason why many people will remember today: today was the AFL Grand Final, and I am happy to report that Hawthorn won against the Sydney Swans. I'm sorry for all those Sydney supporters, but my team is Hawthorn, so my household was very happy this evening. And for those who don't know, Hawthorn's colours are brown and gold, so it literally was a "golden" day.
