I can't really tell until I get my essay back but at least I am making some degree of progress on my dissertation research. I should actually start writing it soon.
Christmas Tree up in November? You people are far too crazy. I assume your desktop is operating perfectly now then?
I saw about your grandmother on facebook, I'm sorry for your loss, my condolences.
Got our Christmas tree up, as well as opened our Christmas gifts since our mother will be in the Bahamas during that portion of December. My grandmother also just passed away yesterday morning. Just had a friend leave after spending the night; he fixed my computer as it was indeed the power supply that needed to be replaced.
