I apologize for not posting for quite a while now. For the past two weeks I have been caught in the storm of my first grad school finals week. It was not a pleasant experience, but it's over now thank goodness. I know I made an A in two of my classes and I am hoping to find out about my third class very soon.
Now that finals are over, I can finally get in the Christmas spirit! Abby bought us our first Christmas tree (think Charlie Brown tree if more of the needles stayed on the tree) and many of the ornaments were generously supplied by Abby's aunt Peggy. We put up some some Christmas decorations including by singing jalapeno and poinsettias. Overall it's looks very festive in our little apartment.
We've also had the chance to partake in a few holiday events already this December. We went to the "Grand Ole Christmas" held by the university. There was free hot chocolate and pizza as well as indoor "ice" skating on some sort of synthetic ice. If you believe it, Ole Miss actually has a ice hockey team.
Additionally, we attended my department holiday party. We got a cool tea mug and salsa during the gift exchange! Also, the party was lots of fun with plenty of ....um...."good cheer" to go around!
Both of us are excited to get back home to spend the rest of the season with our families. We will be leaving this Friday to start the trip back via Lexington. Happy Holidays to all!
