Random Thoughts

Hey out there to the few that read this site. I am well. Unfortunately, I am still waiting for my lab reports to come in and I have to go back to redo a test. Fun fun, I tell ya. We had Thanksgiving at the house this year, the last one for me in the States for quite a while... Everyone made some awesome food and we all had a successful potluck this year. I had a chai latte for the first time this week and I was pleasantly pleased. I will def drink more of this. I have noticed that I spend most of my time on the internet reading blogs. They range in style, from cooking and food blogs to environmental blogs to personal and political blogs. I love looking at pictures that people take and spend hours doing just that. On thesis news, I have a new and concrete timeframe. I am about 2/5ths done with my working draft and will continue to work on it until the beginning of the year. I will then form my thesis committee to go over my thesis (i.e. tear it apart) and hopefully I will have a final draft by the end of January or February. :) I have been reading a book by Ray Kurzweil called "The Singularity Is Near" and it is blowing my mind away. I have read some of his earlier works (he is a futurist and pretty successful at predicting patterns that manifest themselves over a space of time) and I am excited to be reading this one. I will be going down to visit my sister, Amy next week at her apartment in between Durham and Chapel Hill. They won't have an extra room come Feb. due to the fact that they are gonna move into a smaller (and cheaper) apartment in hopes that they will save money and be able to move up here when Amy finds a job.

Ok that is a sampling of the random thoughts that are in my head.

Stay tuned for more!
