Playtime's Over

Well I have to say that I have been kind of coasting the past few weeks, doing my work and having time to play; however this week it feels like all that coasting is coming to bite me in the butt. I have tons of work due this week and next and I'm running out of time to get it done. I'm sure that taking this weekend off to go visit a friend (a former ambassador, Cordelia) didn't help my work situation. However I have to say that even though I'm feeling a little stressed about getting everything done, it was well worth it.
Cordelia and I celebrated Halloween a little early since she is going to be out of town for the actual holiday. We carved pumpkins, cooked pumpkin seeds and even went apple picking and got cider. I'm planning on making an apple pie sometime this week. It was so nice to spend a weekend in the country, especially this time of year. The air was so crisp and fresh and the hills were lined with a rainbow of different colored trees.

Well, I will be going now. I have to get some work done here in the office, then do some reading and then head home to do more homework. Blog ya later!
