Happy New Year

I survived another Christmas and am happy to be starting 2011. One fun thing that did happen on Christmas Eve is that I ran into a former classmate, one of the Sage twins (I didn't ask which one, and they are identical). He was with his daughter at the Safeway Starbucks and I was there buying the Safeway peanut buttercup cookies for presents. It was fun to see him and hope I run into him or his brother again in the near future when there is a little more time to catch up.

Winter term starts tomorrow, I'm enrolled full time in order to get my prerequisites in before starting the program (if I get accepted). I'm signed up for Research Writing, Principles of Biology, and US History. This time US History will cover the 1800's which includes the Civil War. Not my favorite era, but I have the same teacher as last term and she has a way of making history interesting.

We've seen a few movies over the school break. Inception was weird and I'm glad we saw it at the dollar theater. 2012 wasn't too bad. I really want to see Despicable Me, but I can't get Rocky to go see it. We watched Gran Torino again, that is such a good movie. Clint Eastwood's character reminds me so much of my dad.

It is cold today, but we have to tend to my goats. This wet weather is not at all good for their hooves so we need to go clean and trim them up. Sounds simple, but it is a big job that takes both of us. The hardest part is catching them. Even with a limp goats are faster than we are.
