Yup, the first semester of my Ph.D. career is over, and I came out smelling like a rose with two A's (physiology and fishes) and a B (conservation bio seminar). The end grades of finals and the CBS paper were lower than my previous standards, but considering everything that's happened in the last month, I think I still did pretty darned well.
Funny how I haven't had any tight neck muscles or stress headaches for four days.
So what am I doing with myself until I head home on Friday? Reading the newest Laurell K. Hamilton, watching TV and a couple of movies, playing the new Bejeweled on MSN games, collecting research articles to read over the break, and making fudge. Yes, you heard correctly, making fudge. The kind you actually have to cook and get to a certain temperature and all that jazz. Well, my attendant Natalie cooked it, but I picked out and read the recipe! Still waiting for it to cool, but I'll let you know how it came out.
It actually got cold here in NO. Today's high was 45 degrees with 10-15 MPH winds. A might chilly, especially living on the lake. I've heard it's as cold or colder at home, so I told Dad to warm up ye olde chili pot. Mmm, I can hardly wait.
