It's Holiday Time....

Please forgive me while I take a break....I'll be visiting friends and family for the holiday and then attending a conference. See you when I get back!

Winter Wonder Land?

So, due to Snow in Las Vegas! all public schools in the LV Valley are closed, so teachers and students were given a "Snow Day". We'll have to make it up later, but who cares....only ONE day until Winter Break.

This was funny to me because I am originally from Chicago and the snow is nothing like I am used to there. Hey, who am I to complain...if you are reading this you're probably in your classroom right now (unless you are off for break already)...LOL!

Have a great day and a wonderful Holiday!!

Finally...there is a light, barely but it is there.

I HAVE DONE IT....I have completed four classes this quarter, bringing to a close my coursework for my PhD. What's next? relaxation...HAHA, no I have to be in CA for a week long colloquium to meet my Mentor and get my ideas together for my COMPS - which is a cumulative exam showing that I know what I am talking about and know how to do research. This is great, but I'll be calling on my friends (OK, only ONE and she knows who she is) to read them and be sure they are written well. Anyway, that is from JAN to MARCH. Then 2 weeks off before I go into dissertation mode and completely ignore my family, friends and other responsibilities.

I'm sure it will go quicker than i think...LOL, yeah right.
