And I'm Spent!

Today was the last day of classes for me. Thats right, everyone, I have finished my first semester at grad school.  And I'll tell you all something, I never thought that I would make it. But, now I have written 45 pages in "conference" papers, I have read around 40 books, and I have written discussion questions for the first time in my life. I think I am getting excited about writing my thesis, in fact I am getting excited about writing again. And its snowing like I have never seen it snow before in my life. There is at least 4 inches of snow on the ground...woo. very exciting. Anyways, I'm pooped, and fly to Cali Monday morning. I plan to do nothing but rest for the next month. 

I introduced Mattie to the snow today! It was so much fun! She did not know how to walk in the snow, then I think it even scared her a little bit. hahaha. I then placed her on the stone wall in front of my house, and she almost fell off of it, awww it was adorable. Now she is curled up on my chair, sleeping nice and still. 

I dont really have much else to say, but look at the pictures, and merry christmas to everyone, and I hope to see my cali friends once I am in town, remember though I wont have a car, and I wont feel comfortable taking other peoples cars to drive all over southern cali, so visiting me at my grandmas house or in Orange County will be very nice. 

Give me a call, I'll be in town as of Monday
