Time is Flying

Wow...time sure is flying by at this point in my life. With the completion of classes today, I have three weeks of classes plus finals week to go in my first semester of grad school. It has been over a month since I wrote something personal on here so I thought I would take a moment to say hi.

The next few weeks shall be very, very busy so don't expect to hear a lot from me. Three 10 plus page papers due, budget creation, research and stat test, and one last group project for the semester. All of which have a whole lot of work left to do. Then it will be home free for a few weeks before I start probably the busiest semester of my masters career.

In the past month, I have done some traveling back to the great state of Kentucky. The first trip was a wonderful trip to catch up with college friends as well as YAACK friends at Homecoming and Keeneland festivities. A congratulations goes out to two YAACK friends Chris and Kerri on their engagement over that same weekend.

Two weeks later, I made a trip to the western half of the state to visit family and partake wedding parties for my cousin, Lesley, who is getting married this December.

This past weekend, I enjoyed a wonderful break from the hustle and bustle of life to rest and reflect on life at the annual YAACK retreat. It was great to see everyone and be out in nature away from civilization. Mentally, it was a time to rejuvenate and reflect on what was happening in life. Unfortunately physically, my body decided to let the gremlins take over and I am fighting a nice head/chest cold at the moment. I am not complaining one bit about this since it seems like almost a year since I was fighting the last one and it is fairly mild compared to other episodes.

Other news, I failed to attend a Big 10 football game this year. Goal 1 for 2007 is to attend a game before graduating. I have received my IU basketball season tickets and plan on attending my first IU game this coming Friday, followed by another on Sunday.

For those concerned about my eating habits, I do not believe that I have had such random dinners as posted earlier recently. Granted this week has been fairly void of food because of sickness. (On this note, remember whatever you post will always come back up at interesting times. Thanks Laura for the reminder of my lovely eating habits.)

Since this is probably incoherent and I am getting tired, I believe I will signoff here.

Go Tigers!!!

Quick shout out to the Georgetown College Tigers who played a hard fought game against the University of Louisville Cardinals in Freedom Hall this evening. Though the Tigers lost, a 94-92 loss to a top NCAA Division I school is nothing to be ashamed of. I hope that the Georgetown faithful were out in full support this evening of there remarkable Tigers.

Louisville fans....you better strengthen that ball team if you expect to be the Wildcats in December.
