Off Like a Dirty Shirt!

Today, I will be heading off to Portland!!  I won't actually get there until almost tomorrow (or very much tomorrow here in EST), but I am leaving today, and that's what counts.  I don't think I have expressed publicly how excited I am to have such a tremendously long break.   UVM is officially on break Dec 18 - Jan 19.  It's crazy - over a month!  For comparison, I am used to University of Mich breaks, Dec 23 - Jan 6.  I plan to read a bunch, and work on sorting out a thesis topic, so I'm glad for the time.  Also, and this is why I am writing this post:

I WILL KNIT RACHEL'S ARMWARMERS!

Please, dear readers, hold me accountable.
