Hello there dear friend!
I hope that your New Year was safe and pleasant and the first days of this new year have been grand! In my last post I exclaimed that I was done packing! This is true and I am exuberant to this fact. I now only have 6 days until I fly off to Florida to visit my family (related and non-related) and it really truly is an odd feeling.
6 days until I leave Nevada, 20 days until begin my position in Georgia, and then 8 months until I begin grad school (hopefully at UNL but any place will be fantastic!)
In this time of perceived new beginnings (which, of course is a construct created in the last few hundred years, but that is beside the point) life for me is just carried over. The end of 2013 is the same as the beginning of 2014 and I will continue to move forward in this adventure. I am wiser than I was a year ago but that is mostly because I choose to learn everyday.
It's funny, things that I pack into my file cabinet. My friends will attest to the ridiculous information that I can spout off randomly. For the last few months my poor family has had to deal with my impossible deluge of information. Like this morning for example, my mom and I were watching Castle, and Nathan Fillion hit a bad guy over the head with a beer bottle. I can't help but express my knowledge of why that would have actually killed the guy rather than just stop him, and why historically cowboys in the west could have accomplished it without killing a person. (It comes down to molecular disbursement of the glass in a bottle, modern beer bottles are better made with the glass being equally spread out. In the wild west, the likelihood of a glass bottle being equally thick the entire length was slim due to glass smelting techniques. If they were to hit someone with a bottle, it would have be to about halfway up the bottle at the weakest point)
Other than my marathon watching of Castle, Criminal Minds, and Big Bang Theory, my life is fairly uneventful for now. I hope to hangout with a few Reno people before I leave (seriously, if you are in Reno let me know so that I can say hey before I leave!) the rest of the time is a time of "reflection" before I go off.
As always,
Love and hugs!
