DONE

As of 4pm yesterday, I am officially done with my first semester as a doctoral student! Yippie!

Today has been a “day of merriment” — no school work and lots of fun! We spent the morning and early afternoon: decorating the front of the house for the holidays, taking Will on a long walk through the “lower” portion of our beloved Hurstville neighborhood, swinging by the local hardware store for wreath hooks and by Whole Foods for dinner (soup) and ingredients for chili (for a mini-dinner party tomorrow with friends).

It is in the high 50s, sunny, blue sky and simply fantastic!
