This semester is over!

One hour and 15 minutes of refraction and calculations and filter sandwiches was the final...well final of the 2005 Fall semester for yours truely. Having aced my math final (97/100) in a record 45 minutes earlier in the day I was anxious to complete my evening exam and file all my notes and sell my books, one week away from a road-trip to Florida. I have a little down time between then and now. Time to get an oil change, pick Nate up from the airport, maybe catch King Kong, make a playlist or two, wrap some gifts. This (should) will be the last road trip to Tampa to see the family. Come Christmas time 2006 and it will be a different, and hopefully shorter, stretch of interstate to see my family. And believe me, I've seen enough of I-75 to last a lifetime. The road from Chattanooga to Tampa is about as boring as driving across Kansas. No landmarks to look forward too, chances of bumper-to-bumper in ATL, and then reaching Florida and being slightly over halfway. The trip home is even worse, back to the slush and slop and blah of Bloomington.

And know for some Christmas Break Predictions:
1. - Pop will finally get that Jag he's always wanted.
2. - Mom will have one too many spiked (I mean spiced) ciders.
3. - Thomas will spend more time with Kalie than with his brothers from Indiana and Louisiana (this includes time she spends at the Crum house), but don't get me wrong, I also predict that I will understand.
4. - Jill Elisabeth will giggle for about 72 hours straight give or take a pig-snort or two.
5. - William will go undefeated at Tony Hawk (I'm bringing my PS2), but he will only be playing single player.
6. - Jesse will say something completely unintelligible, but we will all laugh because he's so cute.
7. - David will grow three more inches and another shoe size.
8. - Jon will make fun of Stephen to which Stephen will respond with either "Nerdy Brains" or "Dummy Fummy."
9. - Nate will announce the release of his long awaited "Mix Tape Vol. 1."
10. - And Matt will....... (I bet there could be some pretty good guesses as to what I'll do).

Hi Matt!
We're looking forward to having the three of you come home.
I've made your snowy photo my screen-saver where I enjoy winter vicariously every time I see it.
