So many good updates! The most exciting one is that I defended my thesis last Friday, and I am now a Master of Science! And there was much rejoicing. :) I do have a few small changes to make, but besides that, I am finished. After 3 1/2 years of working, I have gotten my degree. I feel good!
I also have a lovely little Christmas tree, plucked from the hills just outside of Hamilton, MT. As my roommate said, it makes our living room look like Christmas. Greg and I decorated it with ornaments from my childhood, as well as a few origami creations. It looks beautiful.
Thanksgiving was lovely--besides finding lovely little Christmas trees we went hiking to the beautiful Blodgett Canyon overlook, which was wild and mysterious in mist and snow, and we of course ate a perfectly decadent dinner, put together by 10 talented cooks. Mmm, good!
The other night, we had an artistic evening, making origami (it's a miracle we even succeeded in finishing any of the pieces, since the book we were using was not particularly useful in showing ALL the necessary steps) and fingerpainting exuberantly on large pieces of cardboard. It was good to have some creative release.
So, good things are happening. I'm looking for a steadyish job, though I'm managing to pick up a few random things here and there, and hey, I can always donate plasma! We're waiting for a good snowfall here, too--I and my friends are itching to get out on our skis! This weekend looks to be promising . . .
Christmas blessings to everyone!
