An Above-Average Day

Yesterday was a below-average day.

I sat at my desk, pushed my papers around, and over the course of seven hours, I managed to edit only two measly pages of my proposal (it's going to be about twelve pages long).

Today was turning out to be an average day.

I sat at my desk, read useful books, and in the course of three hours, I managed to edit three more pages of my proposal.

But the day is now officially an above-average day, for when I went to the College to run off copies of my syllabus (with my very own copy code, no less!), I checked my mailbox to find a note indicating that a package was waiting for me at the front desk.

I opened the package, wondering what could possibly be inside. And when the packaging was removed, I discovered that it was a line-by-line discussion of the Theological Tractate!

I had forgotten that I had requested a desk copy from this publisher, but they did not forget.

Oh, it's a wonderful day when I get free books!
