new year's actually went like this-
dinner for two at frog and the peach in new brunswick, followed with a freezing cold dash to our hotel room at the hyatt to uncork a bottle of champagne as the big ball hit the big building on television.
delightful.
if i said i'd go to one party/event/anything, i'd be disappointing everyone else at their respective locations of celebratory activities. so this year i spent it with one and ran into some friends on the fly. it was perfect.
2009 is in my favor. i spent the 1st (aka recovery day) with family and games and conversation and billy bob thorton and chinese buffet.
yahtzee!
today i opened up an email from my group communications seminar
"... I just finished reading your paper. I found it an insightful analysis of bedrock, pragmatic politics and the work that still needs to be done to truly bring justice to the issue. The disparity between the prohibitive Obama vote in California and the Yes on 8 majority is a revealing political phenomenon which begs for added analysis and understanding of the electorate.
I'm happy to award you an "A" for your good work. Your piece on 12 Angry Men was also excellent.
I should be officially posting grades for our seminar tomorrow.
I wish you every success in the graduate program, and please feel free to drop by my office, even for a chat."
sigh of relief.
one down. one to go.
thank you, 2009... now don't screw me over we have a long way to go
