Hello there, remember me?

Well this has been one Hell of a semester, let me tell you. But then, I suppose I don't have to tell you. I've been gone for more than two months. I imagine it was pretty obvious that this was a crazy time. I should have known it was going to be this way when it took me three trips to get all my books for the semester. And papers, and papers, and papers....I went through 7 ink cartridges this semester. I guess it was worth it since I had my best grad school semester yet: 3.8 GPA. I'll take it.

Anyway, all that is behind me now...until it begins again in January. I do feel I owe everyone an apology. Here I promised to spend more time on the blog and I ended up staying away for the longest absence yet. I didn't even rant and rave in a post-election celebration post! I was a little busy with a bottle of Pinot Grigio that night. Well, it seems a little odd to do that now, so let's just say that it is probably fairly obvious that we in this house are ecstatic. And Florida...that was a sweet, sweet victory. For all the obvious reasons.

I will try harder next semester, I promise. But here's a dose of reality: I have to finish my Integrative Paper, and three of my four classes are Graduate Division of Religion (that is PhD) classes. Because I wasn't abused and overworked enough this fall, I felt I needed more for the spring.

Well, my dear friends, I will try to stop in a few more times during the break, but we will be gone more than we will be home. Off to Jamaica for the first week in January! And it seems a little unsavory to be sitting by the clothing-optional pool at Hedonism and blogging about Seminary. Hmmm...then again...maybe I will take my laptop after all!!

Best wishes to you all for a Merry Christmas, St. Stephen's Day, Michael Mass, Blessed Yule, Happy Hanukkah, and whatever else you weird people of faith celebrate! And Happy Kwanzaa and Happy New Year!
