back from a wonderful wonderful wonderful 10 days with my honey in arizona. and now i'm sitting on my couch typing on a borrowed laptop because my el stupido computer has a corrupted operating system (boo! hiss!).
good things:
-i set up my christmas tree, and even though it's fake (cringe), it's looking pretty cute all loaded up with ornaments.
-next week is the last week of classes.
-there are only about five and a half months until i'm done with school.
not so good things:
-i'm missing dana big time.
-i have a LOT OF WORK to do before next week. a lot. i won't even go into how much, b/c you'll say "you'll never get all that done!", and i'll get depressed and freak out, b/c i have to get it done.
-there are five and a half horrible stressful months until i'm done with school.

blargh. off to get some work done.

burgerking

the burger king kinda freaks me out. but in a humerous way. well played, burger king. well played.

28 days...and 10 of those days will be in AZ with my honey for thanksgiving. sixteen semesters of coursework, and it's done (god willing) on december 9th. then...i write.

a lot.

weekends go by so fast...

friday = wretched. i won't go into it b/c it's wetland research/chemical analysis related and will bore you all to tears (and for good reason), but suffice it to say that i ran around like a crazy person all day and i have to do it all over again on monday b/c my nutrient analyzer HATES ME.

saturday = very good. woke up early, did laundry, had a lovely breakfast bagel. dan came over and we had lunch and watched fight club. then i went to the stand show in hartford with erika and jim, and erika spent the night.

sunday(today) = also good. erika and i went out for lunch, rich came up to get her and we hung out for a bit, and my show is on tonight. *sigh*--it's come to this. i'm one of those people that doesn't want to go out on a given night because "their show" is on. oh well.

aquatic plant bio exam this week (again) and lots and lots of reading and paper writing. so don't expect another update until the weekend, unless something super duper exciting happens. which in my life, is not all that often. blah. it's okay, though. i have plenty of time for excitment...right now, i just need to graduate...

i'm back! the conference went really well; i presented my data without passing out or falling flat on my face (hooray!), and i met a lot of reall cool people. *and*, surprisingly enough, i was able to make a few arizona-related connections regarding constructed wetlands projects, whcih i really wasn't expecting considering the conference participants were largely from eastern seaboard states. and i got to spend a waaaay too short few days with dana, which is always wonderful. here are some pictures from the halloween party he had on saturday. i'm the fairy, and dana's indiana jones (sexy!). now i'm at home, trying to catch up on some reading for my fluvial geomorphology class, baking pumpkin pie, and spending quality time with my cat who missed me more than i was aware that a cat could miss someone. cutie patootie.

so...what was everyone for halloween?
