A Whole Week Off

And the strange thing is that I don't feel like I accomplished anything. Here it is, 10 am on the Sunday before I have to go back to school and I have two papers I need to majorly revise and 5 more papers left to grade. Oh well, it'll get done. Here is what did happen:

I got to see two old friends, Justin and Ryan. They were in town for Thanksgiving, so we hung out, drank, smoked,  just like old times. I finally got to Chope's for the first time since I've been here. It was really great to see them. I haven't seen Ryan in four years. 

I had an awesome Thanksgiving with my friend Patti and some of her family and friends. Someone brought mashed potatoes that were white and sweet potatoes mixed. They were delicious. Everything was delicious. We all played Yahtzee and drank beer.

I found out that I got into another conference, Computers and Writing. Not only did my individual proposal get in, but a panel I am a part of was accepted as well. I am feeling really good, almost like I am impressive.

I ate way too much. Not only did I overdo it with Thanksgiving and leftovers, but I ate out a lot this week and I BAKED. I did a pretty good job of exercising, but I just need to stop eating ... and drinking. 

Well, it's time to get back to the grindstone. I think I can kick out one of my revisions within the hour.
