Ah, the semester is winding down. Or up. I don't know - it's almost over, though. Thanksgiving is next week, and I can't wait. I am also looking forward to a nice long break in December and January, and I might even be able to get something done!
Aaron and I are driving to Cincinnati on Wednesday, probably leaving pretty early in the wee hours to make it to the 'Nati by a reaonable time. The drive will likely be awful, but being home will be nice, nice, nice.

Lawrence life and November
It's been a while since I've written about anything - sorry about that. Things have been beyond busy at work. I feel like I'm just trying to keep up during the week, and then I try to catch up on sleep over the weekend. All is going well, though...
We went out to California a few weekends ago during KU's Fall Break. We spent a Thursday through Sunday wandering around northern CA with Keith, Steve, Dave, & Beth, and it was a great time. Aaron drove Keith and I aorund Napa Valley on Thursday while we went wine-tasting, and that was swell. We got really drunk, though, so all the wine that we tasted seemed really yummy. By the end of that wine-tasting tour, a very sober Aaron was ready to kick Keith and I out of the car because of our carrying-ons, but he was very nice and continued driving our wine-drunk-butts around.
We went to San Francisco that evening and met up with Steve, and re-met up with Dave and Beth. We went out and had a nice time in San Fran. The next day we ate lunch at the Pier, sat in CA traffic for awhile, and eventually made it up to Lake Tahoe (which is awesome, BTW). We spent the next couple of nights staying with one of Steve's friends, Paul, in Lake Tahoe. That whole area is pretty incredible. We didn't do much hiking or anything, but we had a great time. We flew out on Sunday afternoon, and back to Lawrence life.
Lawrence life is going OK. Northeast KS is great in the fall (there really are trees here, and they really do turn colors). It's been pretty wonderful to go outside and DO something. We went hiking at one of the state parks last weekend, and in general, it's just been nice to have the windows open occasionly. Plus, it's nice to not smell my own hair burning when I walk out the door.
Today is the one-year mark since Mom died. I'm not sure what to write about that here, so I probably won't. I will say that I miss her like crazy, and although things should hurt less 365 days after the fact, it really doesn't.
