updates…finally…
Sorry for the delay in posting over the holidays, have been busy recovering from my semester finally ending! Just found out my grades this weekend, A in aquatic chem and B in chemical process analysis (YAY! well enough to be reimbursed!), so now I can settle in for the next couple weeks and continue to appreciate my very welcome break. Never used to be the type of student to be happy about a B, but when balancing full time work with 2 classes, one of which is taught extremely poorly, shifts your priorities a bit.
In a couple weeks my corrosion class starts, which I am actually looking forward to. Should be interesting/useful.
Had a nice holiday, spent the saturday before christmas will my sister, jim, and iain and had a really nice time 
Worked for a bit on christmas eve, was extremely quiet here at work, then went to my grandma’s for a little while. Then my parents came up to my place for christmas and we had a nice quiet day Worked most of the rest of the week.
Spent new year’s eve watching some movies with my friend, val, and hanging out until a little after midnight (couldn’t make it much past that, was exhausted). Watched freedom writers, which I liked, and rush hour 3, which was ok…liked the addition of the taxi driver, but was extremely predictable movie.
Have spent most of the rest of the past few weeks trying to relax as much as possible before next semester. Right now I am trying to get my sinus headache to go away…all these temperature fluctuations (60 something yesterday, when last week we had negative wind chills…plus the rain on and off today) are really messing with me…
