The first day back at work is always a hard one. Fortunately Friday is the easy day, my best students and best class environments. It's also easy since I've got a 3 day weekend coming up tomorrow through Monday. What a way to start back into the old grind eh? Skiing should figure prominently in the weekend's activities, I'm hoping to establish some new bruises and bumps on my arse.

In other news, jet lag is not as bad as the process of shrinking one's stomach to it's pre-gluttonfest proportions. Since being constantly exposed to food during the recent holiday binge, I've increased 2 dress sizes and have noticed alarming signs of distress around the seams of various clothing items.
