I finally get a break from my schedule-driven life. No more yellow boxes meaning free time, blue meaning class, green meaning other. For the next week and a half, there will just be boxes for friends, family, and sleeping... and of course doctor's appointments, work, driving to the airport to pick up a surprise, haircuts, and Easter! Then... it will be back to reality...
I found some time (which isn't really found at all, but stolen from the time I could be writing my next two papers) to write a new post and to link your page to mine. Check it out. This was such a great idea. We need to make sure we're encouraging each other if we start slacking on posts. AND it will be a wonderful way to keep in touch when you go abroad. Damn you.
