Well, this week was not at all what I planned, and I'm rather glad to have it behind me. After spending some quality time on my couch, I think I'm on the road to recovery. Word to the wise: try and avoid beginning your semester sick. However, despite being sick, it was a decent beginning to classes. My three classes this semester (Analysis, Logic, and Algebraic Topology) are going to offer a wide variety of difficulty, work, and mathematical thinking. It's quite diverse, as are my professors. I already have work to do, work I haven't started since I haven't really been able to think, though I've participated much more in class this week than I did last semester, oddly enough.
The good news is that I have found a place to live this summer only a 15 minute drive from work, I get to go to one of my Baha'i sister's wedding in February (I'll be in SC for the last weekend of Feb, those of you that are there), and I'm off to Baltimore in just 2 days for psychological assessment and polygraph tests. And in just three weeks, I'm off to NEBYfest to see some of my favorite people and spend lots and lots of time around books :).
I do have one note of thanks that I didn't live in Jane Austen's time... I have spent a good bit of time in Jane Austen world, trying to fill the hours on the couch. I watched Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, and am now re-reading Pride and Prejudice. And while I do love the story and the writing, I'm very glad I have a hope in life beyond who I marry. Thank goodness for the progress of humanity.
The thing that made this week fun was the snow :). I've gotten to lie on the couch and watch the snow fall while wrapped in blankets, walk in the snow and admire all the snow on the ground. Last night gave us the most snow at once that we've had, and it was done to a very cold -15 degrees wind chill too. Today it's supposed to be a bit warmer, with a -11 wind chill ;). I'm loving the cold. I feel so alive. :)
