"Moving" along - ironic isn't it.

Tonight I head back home and spend the weekend with family. Our family's Christmas gathering is this Saturday, and there are always a lot of relatives attending. This weekend, we'll probably have another pool competition ( which I'll undoubtedly get eliminated in the first round again ), spread stories over the lunch and dinner tables, play in the snow, and swap some gifts and memento's back and forth. I am definitely looking forward to Saturday - I should also mention Saturday is my birthday!! I probably won't be getting any presents, but I know I'll be getting an extra helping, or two.... or three... of vanilla ice cream!

I've paid for and completed the sign up for classes next semester. I'm looking forward to both classes: Hebrew II and OOPLs (pronounced ooples). If you don't know what ooples is, then you can be classified as the sane part of the world. :-) I will give you a hint: it is a programming term.

I still need to see what the sign language club is doing next semester, but I think I won't have much time after work and school for extra-curricular activities, although fencing seems to be an intriguing option. I have to ask myself though, “When I move somewhere else, what good will fencing be?” I think the benefit of knowing some fencing is similar to the benefit of base-jumping. It doesn’t serve much practical purpose, but it is cool!
