You would think it is winding down around here as we get towards the end of the semester.  Quite the contrary.  We are all hunkered down trying to finish.  The work left to do seems disproportionate to the time left.  Papers are one concern.  Finals are the other.  Somehow it will get done.  We just don't know how at this point.  Weekend with Debbie is coming up.  Finally!  We have only seen each other for three days since January 9th.  That is not enough and next year will have to be different.  I know that there are other people, especially with those loved ones in the military that go much longer than this between visits.  I don't know how they do it other than they just do.  Just like how does a family handle triplets?  They just do.  You call on your friends and family and make it work.  I am thankful for the friends that Deb has had back home to lean on during this time.  Thank you!  Now, back to studying.  God bless each of you.
