Counting down the days

Just thought I would send out a quick post telling of my excitement--on hold for another two and a half days. Thursday afternoon we head to Kansas City and push onward on Friday to Texas and Sunday we'll be at Walt Disney World! I can't wait--but alas, I must. A half-hour presentation in lab meeting tomorrow, a take home exam due Sunday, and I want to get a jump on the term paper due December 1st... all of these things are putting a hold on my excitement. But soon I will be on (a much needed) vacation. Prepare for updates from warmer places!
