Exciting news of the week...

First things first...congratulations to Jeremy and Gina! Looking forward to their celebration in summer 2010!

Other big news of the week: I am now the proud owner of a Mac...it's treating me well so far and I'm hoping it can handle all the papers and research in store this semester!

Finally, I had a late start this week due to snow. Talk about exciting! Granted, it was less than an inch, but I am in the South. An editorial in the student newspaper about the snow and reaction to all the school closings drew my favorite comment...

"It annoys me when northerners scoff at the idea of schools closing for ice on the roads here. So, with everyone who grew up north of the Mason Dixon line in mind, NO ONE HAS TIRE CHAINS AROUND HERE!! There, i said it. I will venture ever further to say that none of you even brought your tire chains with you."

Enough said.

Welcome back

After a relaxing break with the fam, it's good to be back in Carolina. I went for a walk by the river this afternoon and only had to wear a fleece! 60 degrees in January works for me. The new semester kicks off tomorrow, so I'm off to prepare. Enjoy the last few hours of the weekend!
