It is official: the new council for my church has been installed. As such, my term is concluded. My parents should have taken the blue president's bag into church this morning, so that part is also finished. However, I still have that sermon thing (right now I know of three people who have said they'll be there, four others who are maybes, and one other person I may also want to invite, but should probably do so in person). Sometime this week, I should be getting a bunch of materials in the mail to aid in the process, which will start in earnest after Friday. If anyone wants to read over it after I write it and before I give it so that I can get some feedback, I would appreciate it.
I was also hit with a bit of unexpected news. On Thursday, I got a call from my parents that my grandmother had set a date to get remarried. It was the next day at 4 p.m. (thus I had less than 24-hours' notice). Needless to say I did not go, but I was surprised that my grandmother did not see fit to inform my parents beforehand. Add that to the number of weddings and engagements impacting my life recently, which only serve to remind me I'm still single. And on that note, here is my list of things to do this year (as promised)
- Figure out what research I want to do. I am leaning toward fluid dynamics, but I have recently been bitten by the atmospheric sciences bug again. Maybe things are coming full circle.
- Get a physical for the first time in five and a half years. This will be taken care of on the 12th.
Oh, I have that nice qualifying exam on Friday. The one that is probably going to have its way with me. But I will get a glimpse as to how these things are scored before I actually need to start passing them. And it gives me an excuse to spend time with people this week.
Here's to 2009...
