Kim and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Jenn and Eric's. It was a nice break from our otherwise hectic lives which, quite fortunately, are quickly coming to a kind of end: Kim has only two weeks of classes left for the current semester and I'm really looking forward to the three-week Christmas break I have coming up.
As for Kim, once she's done with the current semester (FIVE classes and working full time), she'll only have to take three classes next semester and one in Fall 2009. With that work behind her, she'll graduate in December 2009.
Meanwhile, I just got back from Houston, Texas, where I presented at the National Council for the Social Studies' 88th annual conference. My presentation on cave paintings went very well and, frankly, I'm just thrilled that it's over (I was very nervous prior to the affair). Other than that, I'm going back to Teachers College this Spring (as long as I can fit it into my schedule) and hope to take one class Summer A (while I'm finishing up the school year at Poly) and two Summer B (while I'm off from Poly). If I can do that, I'll only need to take one class and write a thesis so that I can graduate from Columbia with my MA. I'm somewhat terrified of what that workload will look like, but the fact is that it's got to be done.
Other than that, Kim and I are doing well and looking forward to Christmas/New Years. We'll be in Maine on the 24th, though it might be late if Kim has to work that day, and will be in New Hampshire for the New Year celebrations.
I hope everyone's doing well and I hope to see or hear from you during the forthcoming weeks.
