november (december)... wheee!!!

i started this post on november 1st and now it is december 1st. ach! school has kept me plenty busy this last month, and i believe it will continue to do so for the next 18. i've been keeping a countdown in class notebook & calendar. in a little over two weeks i'm off to europe for the holidays! whee!

november was a blast - most memorable was definitely thanksgiving break. ivy and i stayed at home and made a full thanksgiving dinner, went bicycling out to mere point on an amazingly warm friday, and spent sunday morning wading around the beach at morse mountain with gravling who came up to visit! i couldn't have asked for anything better. work-wise i feel ok, though i've basically fallen off the clf internship wagon. i don't know what to do about it, i'm thinking i'll take the work with me and finish it over break, but poor steve... i just sort of disappeared. definitely won't be asking for a letter of recommendation from him. hmm. writing for my fuller paper has been slow going. it's all ideas, randomly tossed together, nothing solid. klingle is off and on helpful. hmm again. philosophy is probably my favorite homework, and econ is going well. who knows. it'll all be over rather soon!

november was also my first experience with power outages and oodles of candles (which resulted in this lovely picture of julia and me!) we've had some crazy weather - storms, oodles of rain, and most surprisingly... NO SNOW. boo. but hopefully it will snow this weekend. we're all pretty much ready for it, only i hope it doesn't make my flight to dc difficult. not fun!

anyway. at some point i will write about all the interesting reading i've been doing. it's amazing how much stuff you read but don't have time to contemplate. generally though, life is good.
