Riding the wave

What better way to ring in 2009 than break down and start a blog? I was getting tired of keeping track of who I send travel log updates to, anyway.

After 3 glorious weeks in Texas for Christmas, we safely made our way back to Rhode Island, the land of snow. It's shaping up to be a snowy winter. We missed the first two snows of the season, but there was snow on the ground when we landed.

This is us waiting to be picked up from the airport.
Check out the snow in the background.
Nicholas started his wintersession class at RISD on Wednesday. He has been working on finishing his teaching portfolio (Curriculum Vitae, Teaching Philosophy, Sample Course Descriptions, Sample Syllabus and Schedule) so he can apply for teaching positions for the Fall. He will be be applying for jobs, working on his thesis, taking his one wintersession class, attending workshops for his Collegiate Teaching Certificate, and spending time with me for the next 5 weeks. I know in writing it sounds like a lot of work, but it is nothing compared to the semester! The Spring semester starts in mid February, and he will be back to a full class load, thesis meetings, lots of studio work, blowslots, and thesis show planning.

We are supposed to get 4-8" of snow tonight. Yeah snow! One great thing about being in Texas for Christmas (although there are many things) is the after Christmas sweater sales! Stay tuned for our first new snow pictures of 2009. Here's what it looks like outside right now:
