Winding Down

So, this is the last week of my first semester of grad school. Is it weird to say that my classes were really easy? It would be nice if the rest of my life as a grad student would be so sweet, but, I know for a fact that there are classes out there that I will need to take that will probably kick my sweet ass. But, so is life. If anything, I've at least padded my gpa nicely thus far. Gives me a little cushion in case those so called "hard" classes really do suck.

Anyway, two more weeks till we close on the house. I'm ready for this to be done with. Because, the day we close is also the day our Christmas vacation starts! Actually, it would be really nice if we could close a day or two early, but, we'll see. Gotta get word back on our loan application this week.

My coffee is ready. I think I'm going to grab my mug and knock out a little reading before class. Easy day today. Presentations. Friday is a final, but, at least its Friday so I have more time to study!

This is Ridiculous

Its 7:22am, and, NOAA says we have a high of 70 today. Its 71 out!!! Its freaking December people! Ug, I cannot take this weather. It drives me nuts. The fact that we just bought a house down here makes me realize I'm stuck with it for approximately another 3-5 years. We went to Northern VA for Thanksgiving and MAN was it gorgeous! They were actually having a "Fall" and the trees were so colorful and so beautiful. *Sigh* I really miss having all 4 seasons. And, though I know *someday* we will probably end up in upstate New York, it seems like the more we travel back up north or out west, the more I realize how sucky it is to be hot & sticky year round.

Ahhh, Fall on the Potomic:
