- Last night, I went to a trivia night at a bar in Baltimore with Oscar, Laura, and some of Oscar's friends from Baltimore. I definitely see a good probability of me going the next couple of weeks. I'll have to see when I teach to make a decision about the semester.
- I have officially advanced to candidacy. With this comes a step increase (read: pay raise). I also will no longer be taking classes, at least for a grade. I may sit in on the occasional class but not worry about the assignments. But 2011 will be the first year since 1990 I take no classes for a grade.
- I may have to get a passport this year. My advisor mentioned the possibility of sending me to a conference in Italy for a week during the summer. Hooray for my advisor's grants paying for it.
- If I don't make some progress on the dating front this year, I'm probably in big trouble. If I do make it to 2012 with the streak of no dates still intact, I will hereby give my friends the authority to act on my behalf with no veto from me. (There, you have it in writing.) Not that you guys can't try set-ups this year, but in 2011, I will still retain veto power.
- It looks like I may be off the hook for preaching the rest of the year. The council president thinks the council has found an interim pastor. There are still some details to work out, so this could be a false stand-down. But in any case, the sermon seemed to go well. I've had to email the written copy out to about half a dozen people.
- Here's hoping we don't see the snowfall this winter we saw last winter.
- I now have a couple of weeks of boredom ahead of me since I finished reading that paper yesterday.
- One set of math questions sent out, six more sets to go.
May everyone have an enjoyable 2011.
