I'm back and settled in for my last semester of school. Needing only two credits to graduate, I am only taking two classes, which means I have class only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I realize many people would kill to have this much free time, so I'm forcing myself to take advantage of it.
My first project for this semester will be sorting through, processing and uploading the 1500+ photos I took on our 10 day trip to Spain over the holidays. It was an action-packed trip, and we were exhausted most of the time, but we saw a ton of stuff, had a wonderful time and met some great people! Definitely something I won't forget for a long, long time.
Being free five days a week means I'll have little excuse to not blog. FWIW, here are my blog stats for 2006 and 2005 (thanks to Alex King for the SQL queries).

More goals/projects as they come up. Talk to you soon!

No, this isn't a religious post, it's just part of a funny conversation I had with my sister earlier today:
Me: Did your internet just go down?
Her: Yeah. Whenever that happens I think it's a message from God to get off the computer and do my homework.
Me: Well what am I supposed to do? … Oh wait, it's back.
Her: Guess he wanted you to have it again.

I'll spare you all the typical Happy New Year post only because we're already half way through January. A lot of things have happened since the last time I posted, in fact, more than I could completely list right now.
Without a doubt the most notable thing that happened has to be our trip to Italy. I met my parents and sister at O'Hare on the 21st of December, and from there we were off to Rome by way of Zurich. We stayed in Rome, Siena, Florence, and Venice over the course of 8 days while visiting several tiny medieval towns along the way. We spent a day and a half in London before flying back to Miami on the 31st.
Seeing as how I took over 1100 pictures over the course of the 10 days, I'll spare you all the details I don't really remember and instead invite you to visit my Flickr photostream where I am slowly uploading the photos I took during the trip. It's taken me a bit to get the pictures up only because converting from RAW and then tagging/naming the photos is such a time-intensive process.
