Just a quickee...  Going to see Lord of the Rings tomorrow night and am very excited.  It's going to be awesome.  Also, I'm getting closer and closer to break and I'm just relieved.  My body is just dragging itself to that mark when I can go home and rest for a while.  I've fallen so far out of shape...that's another thing I'm looking forward to doing over break.  I love to run and exercise.  There is this amazing trail near my home and even on my bad days I can easily go 10 miles just looking at the scenery.  The trail winds along a little river straight through a huge valley.  On one side are steep wooded slopes, and though they are certainly not mountains they still seem majestic.  On the other side of the trail stretches patches of farmland that seem to sing in the breeze of the summer.  I'm excited to see what they are like when glistening and snow covered; though I've seen them a million times before nothing beats the call of one's home. 

     Hope everything is going well for all of you!
