Greetings!

Greetings! Happy New Year to all! I can't believe it's 2008 already; I remember being in high school and worrying about the Y2K bug that was going to wipe out human existence as we knew it. I'm on winter break from classes until the end of the month, but as much as I enjoy sleeping late and being able to read for pleasure, I'm actually looking forward to seeing my classmates and getting involved in discussions again.

I think the weather has got me down. I've been feeling the blues lately like nobody's business. I seem to always get like this during the short winter days, and I know it will pass, but it's just so darn depressing to be so darn depressed. Thank goodness for knitting, The Terror, and BBC's The Coupling.

In much happier news, my niece/godddaughter was born yesterday! She's the most adorable little thing with her father's chubby cheeks and I can't wait to spoil her!

I've also been working on a short story that boyfriend and I cooked up a few weeks ago (I'm keeping on track by following my rule to write a page a day) and I've got high hopes for it. I definitely want to submit it for workshopping, and it'll be great to have it done before the semester starts to give me a leg up. I'd also like to start submitting some stuff. 2008 will be my year to get published, mark my words.
