A Quick Update (Without a Witty Title)

School has ended for both Jess and I. Jess is now off until early January. I'm off until January 19th. The best part is that as an intern, I'm covered under the school's liability. Because of this, if school is not in session, I'm not allowed to be at my internship! That means that I have five weeks of full freedom with zero-obligation! Well, not quite, but no papers to write (other than a talk for Sunday) or clients to meet with! However, I'm feeling a little under-stimulated. I'm having trouble sleeping, which I believe is because I'm just not using enough energy during the day.
The break (which officially started the 14th) has been good on the car though. So far I've only driven about 150 miles, instead of my usual 600 per week, and have yet to fill the gas tank! I think I'm kind of going through withdrawal symptoms from not being in the car so much though, sometimes I just get the itch to take a drive.
My semester went well. As expected, I procrastinated all of the major papers and such, putting them off until the last possible minute (or even a week after the last possible minute), but they all got finished. I ended up with three A's and a B+. Who knew grad school would be so easy? Okay, so it's not easy, but I'm getting through it. Only one more semester to go!
But who can really think about that anyway? The only thing I'm thinking about is enjoying my time off and spending time with family and friends during the holidays. Watch for more posts, including pictures, as the holidays progress. Merry Christmas!

Only you could be so cocky and still pull off those grades. But now ask yourself if the stress you caused yourself and that cute wife of yours worth it???

Did you finish listening to the Fablehaven series? [Is that the right title?]
Can't you find some snow to shovel, ditches to dig, or tree's to chop down?
Come on out here and I'll put you to work. You'll sleep like a baby. Congrats on finishing the semester. Even I'll be relieved when the last one is over. Notice how we all feel sorry for what you are putting Jess thru and have no sympathy for you? Love ya!

I am glad that you guys are on vacation. I think that great that you get to spend time with your sisters. I wish you all could come home for the holidays. I also wish that I got a vacation.

I guess I should proof-read my comments before I send them.

Congrats on the grades, Dan! Thanks for taking my kiddos yesterday and for all your help. We love seeing you guys!

I could put you to work too, I have a basement that needs finished! I'll even throw in dinner.

Be careful if Missy is throwing dinner around. It could get messy.
