snow, scarves and smiles...? :)

it's official. winter is near, if not here already. today, i pulled out of the depths of my closet - are you ready for it? my winter coat! *gasp* yes folks, believe it. as i was standing at the front of the class today giving my presentation, i could see the snow falling outside, and i felt i had brought out the coat at an appropriate time. i no longer feel dread at the thought of snow, i have now embraced the beloved precipitation and eagerly anticipate its arrival in full force.

on another note, here is the count so far (because i feel this is necessary):
1/3 papers
1/2 presentations
0/1 take home exam
0/1 in-class test

i am making progress, slow and steady. fifteen more days, and i will be somewhat free. what a glorious day that will be...*sigh*
