I went out to run an errand at lunch and it is absolutely gorgeous outside. The sky is blue, the trees are green or in full bloom–some of the dogwood are fantastic–and then there are the azaleas and tulips. Spring, in the capital city.
If I were sneakier, I would have kept driving instead of coming back to work. It helps that there are only a handful of people on the floor today. Fridays are ghost town days at work and I’m sure as the warm weather persists it’s only going to get worse. The bonus for me is the quiet and less people wandering around like zombies.
I had my end of graduate program meeting with my advisor last night. It’s always so nice talking to him. We talked about Very Serious Things and digressed more than once–I think I’m the one who introduced Graceland to the conversation. Aside from writing a paper, going to two more classes and giving a client presentation, I’m done…still seems like a lot to do, but in the scheme of things–not so much. 23 days until graduation.
Have you ever needed him for anything? I’m pretty sure you and a few other folks were on the “non-advisor” plan. I do love talking to him when I get the chance, though. He’s got an awesome POV that I didn’t really understand early on.
I’ve never needed him–after the first couple of discussions about class I didn’t have to talk to him until this semester–first paperwork and then the meeting last night. I used to try to stop by and say hi, but got really bad about doing that.
I can’t believe you are almost done. It seems like you just started. Today’s weather is even better than yesterday!
It’s crazy nice outside here too. We’ve been planting more in the garden and even though it’s really pretty hot it’s been so nice to be outside all weekend.
Is your pool open yet? Ours is, but Jim was distracted from working on it when he lost his new blackberry in the woods hunting for morels. He found it today after about 8 hours of looking for it.
The water heated up to the high 60′s with the solar cover. Not warm enough!
No. We haven’t opened it yet. We don’t have a way to heat it so we wait until May. We both said how nice it would have been to be in it this weekend.
