I've just turned in my last paper of the semester, and am now looking forward to a long and well-deserved Christmas vacation! In case anyone wondered about the shocking lack of posting over the last couple of months or so, there were several good reasons (namely, my oral comprehensive exam - which made the entire semester horribly stressful, plus a bout with pneumonia, and the permanent crash of my poor laptop). I guess I will just do what I did in August (after not posting for months)... slowly add my favorite pictures from the fall over the next few weeks. These are a couple of my favorites, from San Francisco at Thanksgiving.
