Off To the Lake

The nice thing about being married to a person who works, sort of, for the government is we get three day weekends on Federal Holidays. Which today, being Columbus Day, is. So in honor of Columbus ship sailing, we are going to the lake where we will kayak. Perhaps we will discover a new World and bring back some natives. I just hope they're skimpily dressed and hot ones. :)

In other news, as part of my quest to try to get that Fellowship, I wrote this letter which included my info about the Comprehensive Exams I thought I had to take after I was done with my Dissertation. My advisor wrote back today saying "what comprehensive exams? We don't have comprehensive exams." Holy crap Batman!!! I had thought I had one more big exam (in addition to defending my dissertation, which is different) left to take. And since I don't, it feels like I just passed the darn thing! YAY! That was good news, ladies and gentlemens. :)

So have a marvelous Columbus day, perhaps eat some pasta or something in honor of the whole Italian thing. I am going to the lake where I will no doubt be harried and harassed by my hubby while kayaking, cause I'm sure to do it all wrong. But I love him anyway. :)
