It's that time again, folks!

Once again, I am at home in WV for the christmas break, and it is once again very quiet. I have found myself being very much non-social--I have highschool friends home, but I keep forgetting to call them. Here is what I have been up to:

1. Random naps and sleeping in: the grad student equivalent of a day spa
2. Going shopping with Mom (a very traditional activity)
3. Helping lil' sis Liz get ready for trying out for "Grease" for the highschool musical (how do you interpret the character of Rizzo and her conflicting views of herself and other girls?)
4. COOKING my presents for all my relatives. What could be better than cookies and fudge?

I am also reading "Nimishia's Ship" by Anne Perry, which is pretty awesome so far. It pays off to have a brother who picks up lots of scifi books on the cheap--I get the chance to try out new authors for free.

I have also admittedly been acting like a gushing foolish nut about the new boy in my life, so thanks to all who have put up with me so far and all my twitterpated craziness. With great happiness comes great responsibility.

All in all, Christmas finds me with alot to think about. I love my program, I love my friends, I love it all. I just hope I'm up to the challenge of keeping it all for as long as I'm supposed to. And in the short term, I hope I'm up to the challenge of driving around on these crazy WV roads with no snow tires.
