Almost there

December 7th, 2006 8:02 am —  146 views

Next week is the last week of classes. Well, actually, for one of my classes this is the last week. Either way, only a couple more writing assignments and the first semester out of eight that I expect to be taking to complete my masters degree will be under my belt. Then I wait for my grades, submit my paperwork, and hope for that reimbursement check.

Its 21 F out this morning. Super cold but not much snow yet. The holidays are just around the corner and frankly, they sort of suck. Oh well, like every year, I’ll make the best of them. I’ve often thought that my expectations of the holidays were formed when I was little kid. All the excitement, Santa, the gifts etc. That can’t be sustained…seems the focus on gifts skewed things for me. Hard to say.

    When my sister was here last August she brought 24 (count em, 24) jars of her homemade blackberry jelly. I have 9 left and I’m looking for good homes for them. If you and your wife would enjoy a jar let me know and I’ll bring it with me to class. I leave in an hour, so we’ll see if you’re monitoring your emails! You could think of it as a little bit of Christmas cheer, from New Jersey! (think of it this way, I could get her to come and play her bagpipes for you to cheer you up…maybe you should just take the jelly!)
