one day at a time.

I've decided that usually I'm a huge fan of being a graduate student. The schedule isn't too bad and I have a fair amount of flexibility. Most days I'm satisfied with my practicing, and normally I stay on top of assignments enough that classes don't catch me off guard. But this week might do me in :-( The opera opens on Thursday, which means we are rehearsing a lot, in the evenings - and we all know that I'm secretly an old woman and go to bed early. So this is not panning out well for me. Luckily coffee still works like magic, and I might be able to tweak my sleeping pattern for the next few days.

Other than that, things are going pretty well for me out here. I'm getting close with a few people and actually hang out. I know. Lindsay hangs out, doesn't just sit at home crocheting or something. Yes there is still a fair amount of that of course, but I've "grown down" a bit too.

I have purchased my tickets for winter break. I will be in the 804 Dec. 17th to Jan. 7th. I won't have a car, so if you want to see me it will probably fall on you to drive to Varina. Unless Daddy let's me use the Integra.... mmmm....

Honey is doing well. She gets mad sometimes when Elise and I are both gone for long periods of time, but somehow she quickly forgets all that when we give her massive amounts of attention.

It's beginning to get uber-cold. I don't mind the cold if I get snow too. Cold weather without snow just seems cruel and unusual. We had some flurries on Friday and I got overly excited and it went away :-( Alas.

The most exciting news I have is that I'm getting a visitor. Lauren is flying out for my birthday. This is the golden one you know. Turning 23 on the 23rd. I am so anxious!!!

I guess that's it...
love,
