I'm currently suffering through my traditional finals cold. Seemingly without fail, when finals roll around, I get sick. It must be the lack of sleep and additional stress of finals themselves. Three fifths done though! How about that!

I'm soooo ready to be back home with nothing to do but eat, drink and be merry. Holidays Ho!

Well, my mom has finally succumbed to the impending empty nest. She's done got herself a new puppy. The email introduced the dog as "Robbie Ritz" which always throws me for a little loop, as last names are generally reserved for humans.
