I've got skiing on my mind. Its the first week of January, and I haven't even spent 1/2 a day on the slopes. Ug. So, that means its time to plan some ski trips: somewhere in Canada with my friends, VT with the Kohart.. come on, maybe Aunt Diane will get in on the agenda?

Yesterday I spent a good deal of time wandering around work in an afro wig (for good reason -- the making of our division chief's retirment video). Days like that make me laugh.

Its hard to get back into a routine after vacation. Every morning I've been so tired I've basically had to drag myself out of bed (after hitting snooze at least 10 times -- thankfully Cari isn't here to get annoyed at the sound of my alarm).

I dreamt last night about going back to school full-time. The good news is I think I may have found a class to take next semester: Materials Science (which is part of the Mech Engineering Department) 751: New Venture Creation for Scientists and Engineers. The best part? It starts at 5:15 p.m.! No leaving work early! Way to go Rice for pulling through at the last possible minute! Now, I just have to wait for the professors to e-mail me back to let me know if its ok to take it (long story). Maybe my Master's degree isn't derailed after all. We'll see... until then, I'm going to continue mubling the litany "3 more classes... 3 more classes.. 3 more classes).

This weekend I plan on sleeping a lot. Going running both days (let's see what 3 weeks of not running is going to do to that plan). Posting my pictures from Christmas. Hanging my new GIGANTIC clock on the wall.

Hi Aunt Diane! She said she caught up on 3 months of blog entries and that I should publish this darned thing. It would be like the Seinfeld of books. Days and days of absolute nothingness. Who would read that besides a relative?
