In the last month, I've written my third novel (which took up a decent chunk of each day), kept up with my classes (another big chunk), kept up with work (a good chunk), been getting ready for our Christmas Candlelight celebration at church this Sunday, written two papers, taken one final exam, and prepared for the rest of them. As far as details go, there aren't that many, but these simple tasks take a lot of time. Plus, there's sleeping, eating, moving between buildings, flying around, saving the world - all that kind of stuff.
The one high point in the month, other than finishing my novel (yay!) was getting to fly to Minnesota to spend Thanksgiving with my family there. We had a fantastic time together, and I got to see and do everything I wanted and then some. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner, complemented by a light blanket of snow outside, got to have our own private suite at the Timberwolves vs. Cavaliers game, braved the stores on Friday morning, drank some fantastic tea, went back to my old church on Sunday and to one of my favorite restaurants right afterward. it was just the sort of break I needed after the hectic world that is the end of the semester. Right now, we're staring down the last leg of the race - the last day of classes (tomorrow), reading/study days (Monday-Wednesday), and final exams (Thursday-the 19th.) After I make it through all of that, I'm going home on the 20th. Back to Oregon - HUZZAH! It's going to be great, and it's the prize at the end of the race. Right now, I've got to finish.
Well, back to studying!
