Inadvertent hiatus

Holy damn, I forgot to update this thing for a whole ten days! Sorry, kids. Finals week was bönanas. It was filled with cold weather, praying to the grading gods (AKA my instructors and TAs), and making up words when I got bored with studying (see above).

I always like these points of the year, especially when things like finals are already out of the way, as it really provides a good time to look back upon the year that was. For a writer, it's usually a good way to get some ideas flowing, so I may turn my attention to developing something of substance over break.

This year hasn't had a whole ton of ups and downs, but the ups were typically really good (graduating, meeting my current girlfriend) and the downs were really bad (unexpected death of my uncle, etc.). On the whole, it's been an unbelievably cool year and I've got a hell of a lot of blessings to count.

Also, what the hell is it with airplanes skidding off of runways at major American airports around the holiday season? I blame the economy... everybody knows it's cheaper just to crash the damn plane than land it normally with, you know, wheels and landing gears and stuff. I mean, come on, it just makes sense (cents?).

much respect,
josh
