Ok…I haven’t been keeping up with this too well, and for the silliest reason: I kept forgetting my username and password.  Whoops! I’ll try to update more now that classes are ending, finals are starting…I’m sure hilarity will ensue.

We got our first big snow!! And by big I mean HUGE.  I haven’t seen real snow in over a decade so imagine my shock when classes are canceled today and there’s about 8 inches of snow on the ground.  I opened my door and then took a nice little tumble down my front steps which had started to resemble a small mountain.  This was the first one of many such tumbles down the front steps.

Classes are drawing to a close.  The memos for Legal Writing were due last week, so that’s one class down.  I have a paper and a presentation due for Environmental Ethics tomorrow, so that’ll be another class down.  That leaves my Energy take home final, the open materials Environmental Law final, and my paper for Extinctions.  More than the finals themselves, I’m worried that the pressure I put on myself will do me in.  I’ve already inadvertently started getting on my “finals sleep schedule”.  This entails staying up until 3 or so studying or finishing random things around the house, but sleeping in to a luxurious 11 am.  This schedule works really well for me, but I don’t particularly recommend it to anyone else.  I really like staying up late though : )

As for classes…I can’t believe they are almost over! Where did the time go?  How are we in the last week of class?

And on a random note…I think I’m going to reduce my coffee intake and switch back to tea.  I’m enjoying a nice warm cup of vanilla black tea right now and it’s the perfect anecdote to the cold weather outside : )

And a special super duper thanks to Pete for shoveling my front steps after I took yet another tumble down those front stairs!
