Casa De Morrill

That’s it, I’ve done it. I’ve added something else to do in my already hectic life. Thankfully, I picked Christmas break to start, seeing as this way I can convince myself that I’ve got tons of time to work on my new hobby before next semester sneaks up behind me and gives me a boot to the head. On December 27, I’ve signed up to attend the UFO (UnFinished Objects) class at Lydia’s. Carol and Mary talked me into it by going, “Why, of course we have a machine to loan you and of course we’ll be able to help you pick out some fabrics for you to start a quilt on. No commitments whatsoever.” Riiiighhht. I’ve wanted to learn how to quilt for half of forever. Now, I’m actually going through with it. Chalk it up to temporary insanity. Carol’s husband has already volunteered to adopt Sean into the “Abandoned Husbands of Quilters” Society. I have a feeling that by the time I graduate this May, I’ll be completely addicted.

Last night at 4:30pm, I left my last exam for the semester. I had started with my Fourier Analysis exam, which was absolute horror, and then I finished with my Computer Organization final, which was also absolute horror. My brain was fried. I could barely think hard enough to drive home last night. It took two hours before Sean could actually get me to smile at something. My exams were not easy this semester, but I can say one thing for them. They’re over. I get my life back for a few more weeks before I head back to school for the last semester I’ll ever take as an undergraduate in college.

So, what does everyone think I’m doing today? Taking a day off to rest and recuperate? Neh, resting’s for weenies. I got up this morning, went through my normal morning ritual and then headed to work. Man, talk about hitting the ground running. I didn’t even get a chance to log onto my computer until 10am and I got to work a little before 8am. Ahhh… But now, I can sit in front of my computer for a few more minutes and let my mind just veg for a second. After that, though, I get to log out of school mode and into work mode. Documentation’s got to be finished, polished and out the door with a deliverable by the end the month. We’ve still got a lot of work to do before that’s finished. *whew* Time to keep chugging away.
