busy busy busy

I wish I could say that I was busy improving (as in increasing) my nerd score, but I'm not. I'm back in the archives, plugging away. I'm in quite a mood today, a good mood, despite my exhaustion. I'm tired because I was up late reading last night, and finally finished a book which had sucked up my time and attention all week. But now its done and I can move on with my life.

The little things that made me happy today:
- I logged a solid 7 hours of work in 2 archives and the library, and while travelling between them managed to also walk 5+ miles. Its just nice to be back at work
- I had tortellini for dinner with my favorite pasta sauce, Pasta Barilla - Olives (we won't talk about how much I paid for it). I mean, pasta with stuff in it is one of man's great discoveries!
- One of my dearest and oldest friends just got engaged - go Heather!
- I got Nicole and Adam's Christmas letter in the mail today
- John called yesterday morning
- The Colts are in the playoffs
- Everytime I turn on the sports channel there is a live broadcast of a biathalon race on - have you ever seen these guys butts? And the women are awesome too.
- Schnappi das kleine krokodil
- When I met a graduate student from UChicago today, and we were talking about career choices I said, "I don't want to be a big shot professor, in fact I don't want to go into academia, that's not what I want out of my life."
- I bought little hair clips to reign in my unruly hair

Only bad thing - I can't find my C.V. on my hard drive, must be on my UVa network drive. Oops. Gotta update my VPN client! Oh, and I miss my parents. Call me....not during a football game!

Its currently raining here in Moscow. No snow to be found.

I encourage everyone to keep playing the nerd game featured in my earlier post.
