Sitting in a farmhouse in the middle of Upstate New York. I've never, in my entire life, seen a night so dark. It's freezing raining, so there's no stars, but holy shit, dark.

Navyguy's stepdad was considering shooting deer out the bathroom window in the cornfield out back earlier today, also. Apparently that's a tried and true method round these parts.

I'm feeling a significant culture clash, here.

Man I am feeling twelve different flavors of anxiety and gut churning nervousness. Stress. I dunno, I feel bad. Its been severely cold unusually early and I haven't had exercise for probably two months, my glands are probably just attacking me.

That sucks ass, man. Is there a gym or something? Community center?

I think I'll try jump rope.

Whereabouts Upstate? I love that part of the country. When I moved back from Hawaii, the actual dark nights were one of my favorite things. The permanent orange glow of cities fucks up mah brain.

Somewhere between Herkimer and Utica that isn't Ilion but some unnamed place outside of Ilion, it's just where the mail goes. So I'm told.

When Navyguy was driving, we got off the highway and got further and further away from people, I was wondering if he was taking me out into the mountains to murder me.  :eek:

If they have pigs on the farm, they've got a sure-fire way to get rid of your body. :P Also, re: shooting from the bathroom window - out in the country, so long as you ain't shootin' the neighbor's livestock or towards the highway, it's all gravy.

Off the top of my head it looks like it makes sense for me take a mathematics minor so as to fulfill my quota of 180 credits and my quota of 45 credits of upper divisional coursework.

I kind of wanted to do that too, but unfortunately a math minor does nothing for my chances of getting into the NS program. :(

well you do have a plan. My plan is graduate and see what happens.

True. Math never, ever hurts.

Except when it hurts on the inside. :sad:

If I could go back and fix one thing about my academic career, it would be to do better in math. I scraped by with the bare minimum for my major.

end of semester, nearing graduation, feeling a little maudlin

Also, good to hear three of the little bastards are gone, Cain. Alty, hope you feel better soon!

Morning after the Christmas party. Went better than expected.
Apparently to them white trash really means redneck, so I felt more comfortable at this party than the last couple.

The food was pretty much all my comfort food. Pigs in a blanket, mac-n-cheese, fried bologna, spam, bbq little smokies....
Which apparently the hostess and her family don't really normally eat.

I had one wine cooler, which promptly made me tired as hell and I took a short 5 minute nap (thankfully with husband nearby). Didn't drink another one. At least they now believe me when I told them that alcohol makes me tired, so I won't have to worry about being bugged next year. Oh, and tried one vodka infused gummi bear. The gummi part was fine, but good god how can anyone drink that stuff?!
:ninja:
Laugh, even if you are screaming inside. Smile, because the world doesn't care if you feel like crying.

My big excitement of the day is my column was published in the Sunday paper today.  I'm a little upset because they edited out a couple of the puchier, direct lines I had put in the piece.  But, oh well, at least it's there.
