Well, this term is finally wrapping up. I just had my last Linear Algebra final and ended up with a B+ in the class. I'll take it. I am just happy to pass that class. (Jane, ignore that, only As are acceptable). I have a C++ final tomorrow, a project left to finish for another class, and my statistics final next Wednesday.

After that, we will just be getting ready to head up to Washington. Hopefully, we leave Friday the 18th and stay with the Hollingshaus's that night in Folsom before we drive up Saturday to Washington. I say hopefully because I am crossing my fingers that my new glasses are ready to pick up that Friday from Costco. Thanks to Mom and Dad, I got a nice new pair of glasses with a new prescription for B-day/Christmas. The Army provides this stuff for free but the frames available are still pretty limited (especially for my big, wide head). And, it is prohibitively difficult to get an appointment here at the small clinic that does not conflict with my class schedule. So we leave Friday the 18th or Monday the 21st. Either way, we will get there before Christmas, but with my plans for reading and board games during the break, I would really like to be able to see comfortably.

We had a blast with the Allen's (Meagan's family) down here over the Thanksgiving week. The house worked out well for having two families in it. We really can entertain you if you choose to visit! I can always adjust my school schedule and make some time to hang out.

Anyway, that should be enough to drive that stupid monkey off my screen.
