Merry Christmas!

It's Christmastime and I can't wait to go home and celebrate the holidays. There has been a lot of stress and turmoil at work lately [even though it's a restaurant job, those people are crazy!] so Kevin and I are really looking forward to going home for a few days and getting away.

Over the summer I applied for the Master's program at CSU Dominguez Hills in English for Rhetoric and Composition. With this I will be able to teach junior college immediately after graduation - well, that is if there are any jobs to be had. But right now I'm chugging along in the program. I took two classes this fall and just finished the finals for those. Both classes were a lot more stressful and difficult than I had imagined but I feel really proud to have them finished and to already know that I got two B's. Apparently in this program you must maintain a 3.0 in order to remain in it and since it had been a few years since my last English class, it took a little bit to get back into the swing of things.

Another event over the past few months was Thanksgiving, of course, and we were lucky enough that my parents were able to drive to Redondo Beach and have Thanksgiving in So Cal instead of at home. Kevin and I both had to work Thanksgiving day and Lindy had to work 'Black Friday' the day after so it was easier for us to do Thanksgiving here. Here are some photos from Thanksgiving day and I am hoping to continue posting things more frequently while I am on Christmas break :)
