Let it snow!

Winter has arrived, my friends. And it is beautiful! Happy Advent...time to start playing the Christmas music!

Back in East Lansing

And we are happily back into East Lansing, safely and successfully returned from Chicago. It's good to visit the kids; it's good to be back home.
:)

Chicago!

I am safely and very happily arrived in Chicago at the Obingers'. I've got some interviews in town, but I'm mostly excited to be playing with the kids for several days. I've already been given a tour of the updated tree house courtesy of Todd. It now includes two stories and a pull-up ladder.
When the kids are at school, I'll be brushing up on interview preparation and reading the news to make sure I can speak at least moderately intelligently about current issues!

Snow!

There are mixed feelings in Michigan, but we are seeing the first snowfall of the year!! And it's purty.
:)

Exams are done!

I had an anthropology exam this morning. It went fairly well...and now I have no more exams until finals week! Woohoo.
I have a draft of a 25-page paper due next Wednesday, though. Time to get to work...

Floor!

Finally and at last, the flooring is complete in the condo. We have now scheduled and rescheduled the vinyl installation four times thanks to issues with supplies and schedules. The vinyl was supposed to happen before the carpet, but that went down thanks to incorrect measurements. But it is done now! And it is beautiful.

Football!

Ladies and gentlemen, a monumental event has occurred. Rebecca Farnum went to her first MSU Spartan Football game since the 1998 Citrus Bowl.
It was not as an exciting a game as the '98 Bowl was. In fact, the Spartans managed to play incredibly badly the first three quarters. But it was fun to see it happen, and the band played "Les Mis" for halftime.
I went with Kevin's mom and stepdad. We had quite the fun family time.

Logic and I are Friends

It is some comfort to know, in spite of the concussion, that my powers of formal reasoning have not completely escaped me. I have now taken two midterms totally drugged and vaguely incomprehensible, but I'm still doing well in my logic class (I just got the result from the second exam). There is hope for my brain yet!

Happy All Saints' Day!

Welcome to November! I utterly failed to wish you a Happy Halloween, but I hope you enjoyed yourself. I did almost nothing Halloween-related, though I did get an excess of food thanks to various potlucks and giveaways.
This week, I have a midterm in economics and then yet another doctor's appointment. Hopefully we will get my head figured out!
