Tuesday, Once a day of pain, now a day of joy

Right now I am incredibly happy that I am done with finals! Done, done, done!
And...*whispers* I'm actually feeling okay about them....I mean, I think I got the major points across well enough. Now, I just have to pack. But I'm not leaving until Sunday, so I've got lots of time, which is really kinda nice. I'll start on Friday, I think. Or at least, Thursday night.
Tomorrow, I'm treating myself to work for 6 hours. A special treat for finishing finals. Just for me. But, I'll just be watching movies, so all is well.
In honor of today:

Beautiful Day
U2
The heart is a bloom,
Shoots up through the stony ground.
There’s no room,
No space to rent in this town.
You’re out of luck,
And the reason that you had to care.
The traffic is stuck,
And you're not moving anywhere.
You thought you'd found a friend,
To take you out of this place.
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace.

It's a beautiful day. (Day . . .)
The sky falls, and you feel like,
It's a beautiful day. (Day . . .)
Don't let it get away

You're on the road,
But you've got no destination
You’re in the mud,
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town,
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over, and it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day (day . . .)
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day. (Day . . .)
hoo . . hoo . . . hoo

Touch me
Take me to that other place,
Teach me . . . oh,
I know I'm not a hopeless case.

See the world in green and blue,
see China right in front of you,
see the canyons broken by cloud,
see the tuna fleets clearing the sea out,
see the Bedouin fires at night,
see the oil fields at first light,
and see the bird with a leaf in her mouth,
After the flood all the colours came out.

(Day . . .)
It was a beautiful day (day . . .)
Don't let it get away,
Beautiful day (day . . .)

Touch me,
Take me to that other place.
Reach me,
I know I'm not a hopeless case.

What you don't have,
you don't need it now,
What you don't know,
you can feel it somehow,
What you don't have,
you don't need it now,
don't need it now . . .
[It] was a beautiful day...
