I'm back from spring break! I enjoyed two weeks of warm weather, fun at UGA, time with family, and lots of biscuits. I returned to campus today to find the snow has all melted!!!! This is reason to shout out with joy, trust me. Unfortunately, we have some more "Devil's Dandruff" forecasted for this week, but no big deal.

I have two weeks of very heavy work, then it's easy cruising until finals. 40 days and counting until the end of the year. It'll be 40 chilly but fun days!

I have found that the best way to bond with Northerners is over frustration... let me explain: This afternoon I was waiting at Laguardia Airport for my shuttle to New Haven to arrive. It was about an hour late, and there was another 40ish year old man sitting near me that had been there as long as I had. As people came and left, our ticket numbers continually were not called. I finally asked one of the workers for a status update to know how much longer it would be, and my new 40ish year old friend said (in a VERY thick northern accent) " Yeah, how much longer will it be? Come on, me and him have been waiting for over an hour! A little late isn't bad, but over an hour? Come on!" From then we chatted it up over how ridiculous it was that the driver was so late. I just kind of went along with him because it was funny seeing him get so worked up over this.

I also found out today that my phone (and props to AT&T) gets service, and 4G data connection, at cruising altitude(about 34,000 ft on this flight) on a plane! I was able to text for a very long time on the plane today before I finally lost service. So much fun. I had never texted from inside a cloud before.
