Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had fun last night - I stayed home due to unsavory weather conditions, which, coupled with drunk idiots, could have been terrible. I did, however, make banana creme pie. Oh yeah, and I finished my thesis. :) I'm done...now just to get up the nerve to send it to my committee.
Of course, the new year couldn't start off smoothy...I woke up to find it 50 degrees in the apartment. I said to myself - its probably just the water in the furnace being low (we have this weird system that you have to add water to once a week or so). I get downstairs to discover my downstairs neighbors shutting the doors to outside. That's right - our pipes froze. No water, and for us, no heat. Luckily, my neighbors managed to heat up the pipe for water and gave me a hair dryer to defrost our water pipe to the furnace. So, everything seems ok now.. but not how I was picturing new year's day.
