It was nice to have a two-day break from the regular scheduled classes and meetings and to get away. We went to northern Indiana to my parents place for most of the break along with a brief trip out to central Ohio to see my grandparents and the side of the extended family that was gathering for Thanksgiving dinner. Great seeing many of them for the first time in over a year. We were also fortunate to see some Rose-Hulman friends that I haven't seen in a number of years.
It was also nice to just get away before 10th week when everything is coming due and many projects and classes are wrapping up for the final time. This time of the quarter is both an exciting one and also a time of closure as new classes are lined up for next quarter and all the 'last times' begin to occur - last Fall quarter, last LEAD gathering, last class with some classmates, etc. In general, it's amazing how fast the time here seems to go. It's really two 9 month sections split with a 3 month internship/break.

No snow here. No prospects of snow. I'm one of those people who likes snow. Nuts to St. Louis, that's what I say. I'm told that all we'll get around here is cold rain and the occasional sleet/slush. Bah humbug.

Ha! That's pretty funny since that's what winter in Seattle is like. ;) We supposedly get snow once a winter or less up there.
Indiana had a little bit but not much.

Bah. Here in DC the threat of snow shuts the place down. Of course, it's supposed to be 67 today, so the odds of snow are zero.
Nice. I hear snow in Seattle shuts it down because the hills are hard to navigate when slick.
