Otherwise, Life is good

Couple other little updates from my glamorous life.  My Chinese brother Shaoshu turned Thirty on Sunday (so old!), so we got to celebrate with some old friend, several of whom we hadn't seen since college.  It was a fun party.

It is snowing in Seattle.  It's not that much snow- maybe 6 inches on the ground here, getting icy on top.  The real issue is that there isn't much snow removal equipment, and not a lot of experienced drivers.  It's the kind of combination that makes a person want to sit at home with cocoa- which I did.

My dissertation arrived.  It's anti-climatic to have the final printed version.  It looks good, the images came out nice, and it is bound in black with the title along the spine.  That is the end of that.

The job hunt continues.  I am told this is a good time of year to be looking for a job.  I have some plans to meet with more people, so the networking part is coming along.  Nothing feels like it is that close to turning into a job yet (Boo), but I have got some things to keep me busy.

Like this cold.  I was feeling all jealous of Noel's household being sick all the time, so I went out and got a germ of my own.  Matt isn't thrilled, but that's because I have more germs than him- for now.

Overall, things seem fine.  This is the first time I will have been home for a full week in over a month.  I am trying get a normal life here.  Seeing friends, cooking in the kitchen, that sort of stuff.  I am looking forward to Nana's February visit.
