A Good Holiday

For the Christmas weekend, Val and I got to visit my Grandmother. We had hoped to get to see his family but alas, airfare is just ridiculous. Then again, with DIA closing every 10 minutes because of three inches of snow, we would have just ended up moving to Seattle by default. The picture is of Val and I with what is left of the Horvath family after opening our Christmas gifts. My little 'ol Hungarian Grandmother knit us all wonderful scarves which was the best thing I could have gotten from her.

The snow is falling again here in Denver and it appears that Val's store will be closed again for most of tomorrow. Normally I wouldn't mind but damn... gotta pay the rent. Oh well.

I have taken the better part of the last week and a half off to recoup from my semester. Grades finally came in today and I ended up with an A- in my environmental science class, which ruined my 4.0 (I know, I know, leave me alone) but I should make CLAS Deans List (not that it really matters all that much). I am trying to finish really strong to increase my chances of getting into the graduate program of my choice. In fact, it looks like I will be applying to one for this fall. If I am not accepted, then I will apply to several other schools for the fall of '08 and go from there.

I'll start writing again at the beginning of the year (even though there are a number of things I could--read should--be working on now). Till then I'll keep recovering from this stomach flu and get plenty of rest. If I don't see you all before then, have the Happiest of New Years.
