Three final papers down, and one more to go. (It's got to be 3,000 words or more, and I've got 48 hours or so to get it finished... Yee-haw!) Has been really, really lovely to be in Kentucky, hanging out with family and friends for these past few weeks. But I'm looking forward to heading back north this coming Thursday. There's a potential road trip to Toronto in the works, and plans to finally explore Boston and surrounds! Will be nice to be there without the crazy demands of school for a few weeks, til class starts again in February. Here are a few pics (just the ones from my MacBook camera, til I get home and can plug in the real camera) from my KY time.
