Well all, looks like the semester is winding down. Only 2 exams and 3 days left and for a semester that had as much going on and as many firsts as this one did it certainly isn't going out with the bang I'd expect. I suppose a small recap may be in order, but I don't think a small recap would do this semester justice, in which case if you'd like to know anything just ask *smirk*. I'll be home Saturday evening should any wish to let the merriment of the winter break begin at said time, and all of you Bow music kids remind me of your concert next week. I'm looking forward to it although it will be a little sad being in the audience this time instead of up there with all of you. Perhaps I'll be able to snob it up over vacation a bit because I just got a call about an interview at Abercrombie for the winter break (This may not be the best idea though, I'm pretty sure working there kills more brain cells than any amount of alcohol I've consumed could). I cannot think of much more to write at the moment, so to pretend like I'm still with the in crowd as far as the online scene goes I'll do some of the recent surveys. I'll save your friends with a cut this time though in penance for last time.
Everyone:
