This past Saturday I was fortunate enough to spend the day and night with some really terrific friends - both old and new. My friends from college and I all met in the city to see the tree, lights, and the hustle and bustle of the city. I'm really glad that we all took the time out of our busy schedules to hang out, (and a special shout out to the organizer of our festivities!). Everyone brought friends, so we all met some new people and bringing people together is what I like most about the holiday season (not, for instance the crazy crowds). I finished out the night / rang in Sunday morning with some new friends and some gin. Success.

These past few days I've been pretty happy and excited, and I don't know if it's the Christmas cheer getting to me, the fact that the semester is nearly finished, (one more paper!) or some other factor but I do have to say, I'm loving it! 2011 is ending on a pretty great note.

Spreading some cheer...
