Study Break

It's technically Wendy's turn to post, but she got out of it by re-doing the layout. She's joined the ranks of xml-marker-uppers and put my html skillz to shame. (If you're reading this in Facebook, you're really missing out. Actually, if you're reading this at all, you're also missing out, but it's too late to worry about that.)

I'm in the middle of a take-home final right now, and it's been going pretty slow.
There are plenty of hints written into the questions, and I have notes to cover basically everything, but I guess I've gotten out of shape since the midterm.

I've started negotiations with a travel agent, but she wants a deposit immediately, and hasn't so much as sent me a picture of the place. I don't know if that's standard operating procedure, but after my experiences with booking other bargains, I'm a bit cautious. I don't tend to make decisions quickly, and fear of having to make them makes me put off beginning the deciding process, which makes them take longer still. In the end, my first instincts tend to be pretty good, but like the proverbial turkey for whom life gets better and better every day up until November 13, you can't always go by past experience.
