It's almost the 2-month anniversary of my last post! You should probably buy me a present. And put a bow on it for the season.
November was busy. Lots of schoolwork. Lots. For the last week, I was aware that I had a lot of large papers due, but it wasn't until after the fact that I realize I was turning in a paper every few days. And then I would realize that each of these papers were 12-30 pages long. All of a sudden, I feel tired and lazy and want to sleep more.
November was also Thanksgiving, I guess? Not my favorite holiday. I'm not much for stuffing my face. I also can't appreciate beginning to prepare a meal at 8am, cooking for 7 hours, and then having it all ingested an hour later. I had to watch the nephew Torin again this year. Last year, his little brother was being born, and this year my brother has some serious jaw surgery, which required a trip to Shands in Gainesville. He started a blog about it, found here. He is recovering nicely.
December heralded the end of school for the semester. Good thing, too. I am in serious need of some no-responsibility time. Of course, when I submitted my final paper, it wasn't the end of the day before Laura wondered if I should get on putting up the lights. Nice?? Regardless, it has been nice to lose track of what day it is, and when I do forget, I remember that it doesn't matter. The only day I have to worry about is the 24Th, when I have to start hanging out with family, being merry, having a happy holidays, etc.
Of course, New Years usually follows Christmas by a week or two. We're heading to a condo for the weekend after Christmas, and coming back before the 1st. The famous Josh Simpkins will be in town, and we'll try to avoid burning anything down before work and school begins in the 4Th and 6Th. School will hopefully be much easier this spring semester. Two online courses and two face-to-face courses are scheduled. Luckily, I am anticipating that 3 of the 4 courses won't be a problem, so I can use my free time to avoid accomplishing stuff.
There! The recap from the last 2 months. Maybe there will be another posting before another 2 months go by, and may actually include something other than a step-by-step of what I've been up to.
Oh, I almost forgot. While working on my papers I discovered my new favorite font, Footlight MT Light! Yes, I have a favorite font now. I'm not sure if that goes under the "Nerd" category, or the "Geek" category, but I would take either. It's that great a font, truly.
