Canticle of Thanks

Canticle of thanks means pressing the little blue-bagged mystical taliman that your spiritual sister gave you a little over a week ago into the side of your temple and saying the greatest name over and over again as the blithe voice on the opposing side of the phone informs you that the amount you requested has been approved and will be dispersed this coming Monday. Canticle of thanks means that finally, after all this time, you won't have to kill yourself to make ends meet. Won't have to work until three in the morning. You'll be able to muster at least five hours of sleep. You'll be able to get a meal plan. Be able to buy the rest of the books you need this semester.

Canticle of thanks means finally, after all this time, getting on with your life.
