Guess What!!

The fall semester is over and grades were just posted today.
I found out that I received a B in my least favorite class:
Advanced Theories of Human Development and Family Studies.

Praise the Lord!!
I was totally resigned to the idea that I would be getting a C in yet another Theories class (I got a C in a masters level theories class) and here you are;
Merry Christmas!

And so Tuesday I am traveling back to NY to be with my family and hopefully catch up with friends that I only see once a year, if that often.

Merry Christmas to you all! Whoever and wherever you may be!
May you discover or rediscover the joy that comes of the celebration of our Savior's birth!
Grace and Peace

I forgot...

During Thanksgiving I got to hang out with my really cool 2-year-old nephew. He can't play the bass, but he can head-butt his sister!

:0)

Hey there!!

I haven't posted in a long time so I thought you would just let you all know that I have not fallen off the face of the earth. I had a paper due. Not just any paper, a paper that critiqued a book we read in a class about behavioral ecology by comparing it with 2 other perspectives we discussed in our Theories class.

As my major professor would say, a lot of Big brain cell time!

I did have a wonderful, fantastic Thanksgiving break! I got to hang out with my brother(in-law) as he did errands, I got to play in the leaves with my neice, sister and mother, and I got to assemble a swing-set with my dad. And I got to listen to the taped messages from college that have served to remind me and ground me in a foundation of who I am in Christ. Sometimes we need reminders. I usually get these reminders earlier in the fall semester because I take a trip to my undergrad Alma Mater for homecoming in October. But I was "too busy" or was afraid of getting behind. I think that may have set the business course for the semester.

Anyway, I drove back from VA Saturday, just in time to hit traffic from eager fans going to the GA Tech vs. Georgia game that was being played in Atlanta. I read for my paper, prepared for a seminar that I helped teach Monday, and handed the paper in on Wednesday. My semester is done, except for 2 small papers for a research methods class. Those are due Monday so I might actually get out to the movie theaters this weekend....The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe comes out!!

But I am babbling on so if any of you want to hear more feel free to call me...if you already have my number.
It's holiday time and now I feel like I can actually stop long enough to notice.
