Last day of classes

was today. Yay! But now it's time to hunker down for exams which start next week. I decided to continue with my current job next semester since I really enjoy it & I'm learning an awful lot. It was dicey there for a while since they require a minimum of eight hours & I had to find a way to tweak my schedule for next semester to try & fit these many hours in two chunks. But worked it out.

What are the chances of getting the soles of your boots come off as you trudge in the snow on the same day & at the same time?! 1 in 1 trillion. But that's what happened to me this evening. I'm leaving work headed to my car, which is quite a hike, & then I feel like something's dragging the bottom of my shoe. Look down & sure enough, the soles of BOTH my shoes are hanging on by a thread of glue. Keep in mind there's 5" of fresh snow on the ground so these soles have no choice but to make it to my car. So at this point, picture me walking like I have skis on (dragging my feet without lifting them off the ground). Swish swash. But my shoes were having none of that. With about a block to go, both soles came off!! $#&%. Lucky for me though the 'casing' of the shoes was leather & it wrapped around all the way around the bottom so my socks didn't end up getting soaked. Didn't feel like it though. Felt like I was trudging through the snow barefeet.

Go Bucks! The LSU Tigers await an a$$ whoopin' come Jan. 7!
