So, One course is complete, the TA work is done with all exams graded and marks submitted, the major paper proposal has been handed in, the interview for the paper on Unitarianism is done. I have to finish writing one more paper, today, invigilate an exam tonight, then Nikki, Scootah and Krista all arrive tomorrow at varying times. A weekend of good friends, love and xmas cheer and then a return to finishing the paper I will work on today. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I supervise three more exam time slots, and work on the Unitarian paper (transcribe the interview, find more sources and maybe even start to write. Work Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and then off to Ottawa on the following Monday for two weeks of xmas, which will hopefully involve some rest. With any luck, I will have the Unitarian paper finished before I leave for the big O, but if not, I will have a week at the other end to finish it up.
Xmas not at home is becoming something I am getting used to, not necessarily happy about but getting used to at least. I was in Calgary for Xmas 2001, Triton for Xmas 2002, Ottawa Xmas 2004 and now Ottawa again for Xmas 2006. I am going to be in excellent company this xmas, I will be with my partner and some of my family, but I most assuredly am going to miss home, Xmas eve with Pat and LA, my annual (sort of) Boxing Day gig, and the traditional New Year's dinner with the whole crew. I will also miss getting to see everyone who has been living away, which is one of the great joys of xmas in NL... but I am not so melancholy about it. I am really looking forward to the Ottawa excursion =) but know, all of you who I will not see, that I will be thinking of you, and often.
Take care and be well friends
