time is whirring by me

I have hardly had a chance to breathe, and when I looked at my last post I realized it has been over a week! Ack, that was one of my plans was to be better at regular updates! Oh well, I guess sometimes we just aren't able to keep up, despite our best intentions!
It feels like I started this term in school yesterday and now it is already week seven! Unbelievable! How in the world does time fly that fast? I am perpetually amazed.
I was able to arrange for Friday as a day off, which was so nice because now, on Saturday morning, I still have a whole weekend off!
