As we roll into December, it is becoming more and more apparent
how quickly this term is wrapping up. We
only have three short weeks until the semester comes to a close and Christmas break
commences. School continues to go
well. I am finishing up an algebra unit with
my math students this upcoming week, and started a chemistry unit in science
this past week. As these are my two
favorite subjects, life is good. Things
are made even better by the fact that we finally got a dusting of snow that has
stuck around. It surely is beginning to
look a lot like Christmas.

As today marks the first day of advent, I would also like to introduce
you to the new additions in my apartment.
A small collection of international Christmas cheer is accumulating on
my bookshelf. A tree, tinsel, and candy
canes from the US. A gingerbread house and
candles from Sweden. And some mince pies
and Christmas pudding from England. Things
are pretty cheery here. A few other expansions to my collection are in
the works, so check back in the coming weeks if you would like to see the new
developments.
