Today was the first day of the last semester of the rest of my life. In just four more months, I'll have finished my master's degree in mechanical engineering. Yay, me! As you all know, I do a distance learning program thing, where all my class lectures are stored in video format (Windows Media) online, so I can watch them after I get home from work. It's worked very well, and, now that we have this laptop, I'm excited about the prospect of not having to be tethered to my desk to watch class.
I know, I know; rough, huh? Tell all the people who have to slog through the ice and snow, uphill both ways, to class; see how much sympathy I get. But it's nice. I watched my class tonight from my comfy recliner chair, which, I'll tell you, beats my desk chair.
But last night was nice, too. Wife got some movie gift certificates for a Secret Santa present (and a few more when she quit her job, I might add) so we decided to go see a movie last night (Children of Men, which was fantastic). Then, before the movie, we decided to go all out and go get dinner, too, turning it into a full date night. We can't do that stuff now that school is back in! And now I'm listening to Isis and posting this, also from my recliner chair.
I think I'll go get my book and read upstairs in the Reading Room while Wife finishes her movie.

Wow. You should read your wife's post just previous to this one. If you guys are going to have kids, you'll NEVER have nights like that EVER again! We never do anymore. And, to make the knife twist, we're watching our friends' kid on VALENTINE'S Day so THEY can go out. Nice, huh?
