Another Semester Over

I finished my fifth and final paper today at noon. It was due at 12:30. The Procrastination of Heather once again worked a miracle! And I don't think its half bad either. I got A's on the first two I handed in last Friday. Hurray!

NOW, I can finally enjoy Christmas. NOW I can actually go shopping (have not bought ONE gift - except my dad's iphone with my sisters, but that was August and I didn't shop for it), walk around, enjoy friends and family. However, all of that mentioned will have to be enjoyed in Milwaukee, including Milwaukee friends and Milwaukee family, in the few days before the 25th hits, like normal. I leave tomorrow at 7:20 am for home. I hate having the end of the semester in December. It just seems wrong.

On to the one thing I can enjoy before leaving Boston - Emily (violist) is having a chamber music reading party tonight. I will go to that, come home late, pack, get a couple hours of sleep (last night was around 5) and head out the door at 4:50 AM! Whoo-hoo!

Snow Day!

This morning could have been really painful. I got home from a party last night around 2, and needed to wake up at 7 for a gig at 9 forty minutes away. I did get up at 7, looked outside, and almost fainted - I couldn't see across the street, it was snowing so hard. And I had to take the B line to Chestnut Hill, walk to the D line (about four blocks), take the D line inbound to Brookline Village, and wait for my ride. But I was good - I took a shower, put on tights, two pairs of socks, pants, two sweaters, and was about to start looking for a second scarf when my phone rang and my gig was CANCELED! It has been rescheduled for Jan 12, so I will get the money someday.

Now I'm drinking hot chocolate, enjoying my free morning. I'm done with paper 3, so only two more to go! I will head to library when it calms down outside a bit and finish paper 4, so that paper 5 will be all thats left!

Papers

Done with 2 out of 5! Moving right along.....

The blizzard yesterday left us with over 6 in of snow, covering Boston beautifully. It was a PAIN yesterday to walk back and forth from jury to CFA to library, all while snowing quite heavily, but I somehow made it. I love snow.......we're expected to get another Nor'easterner (sp??? check Boston weather channels for correct spelling) Sunday morning, which was the final decision for Molly to change her plane ticket to Indy from Sunday EARLY morning to tomorrow. I'll be home next Thursday for Braun family fun! Which includes a LOT of euchre....yay!

Molly and I had Chinese last night.

This was my fortune cookie:

"Vacation can wait. Start your projects now."

Even the Chinese fortune cookie gods are telling me to get my papers done.

I'm seriously procrastinating again.

Molly is about to yell at me (she's a good girl - next to me writing her paper).

AGHGHGHGGHGHGHGGHH!
