R & R In the 503

Here's what's happened since the last time I wrote;
- Got through finals and ended up doing a lot better than I thought I did.
- Ended up getting snowed in Down in Eugene by myself for a couple days until I decided take a chance and try getting off our hill which was pretty much a sheet of ice.
- I made it back to Tualatin safe and sound with Pippin riding copilot.
- Endured the biggest winter storm since 1968
- Had a lovely christmas
- Went snowboarding with my Brother and his girlfriend on Saturday and fell in love with it all over again.

The next few days should be quite fun as well. Today is Gary's 21st birthday. We're going to hit up good old Mashita's for dinner and then head downtown to his condo before we hit up some bars. I'm still not sure what the plan is for new years, but I'm sure we'll find a decent way to welcome the new year.

I lucked out with the snow storm and didn't have to go back to work for a couple days last week. It's been extremely relaxing just being able to hang out around the house, shovel some snow, and just clear my thoughts before I head back for a much busier term than the last.

So far it's been a very lovely holiday season. The only thing that is missing is Barbie. I miss hear dearly and wish I could have spent the past week with her by my side.
