Three weeks from today is Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n
In five weeks I’ll be in Pennsylvania for my friend’s wedding.<\/p>\n
In six weeks the semester will be over.<\/p>\n
In seven and a half weeks it will be Christmas.<\/p>\n
I can’t believe winter is so close. Some days this time of year, Texas is its old self – yesterday it was close to 80 degrees and sunny. But some days, like this morning, there is a chill in the air – 40 degrees before the sun comes up. Cold days always put a little sadness in my heart. So, I hope it’s warmer later when the sun comes up.<\/p>\n
I am so excited to travel at the end of the semester. Being so far from home makes going back that much more exciting. I mean, it’s still only southwestern Pennsylvania so without concrete plans it gets boring really fast, but I have a lot of concrete plans for my December visits so I’m looking forward to all of that (but I don’t have so much scheduled that it’s going to be stressful to get it all done).<\/p>\n
The end of the semester itself scares me (so much work to do before then!) but in general, I’m happy and life is good right now. I have a lot to look forward to, and a lot that I’ve accomplished (in recent and not-so-recent history) to look back on fondly. And school is relatively <\/i>low stress right now.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’m spending my most productive hours (7-9AM, when I’m in my office every morning before anyone else gets to school so I’m not distracted and free to work) writing when I should be working. It’s about time I write some lectures about logarithms!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
