Freeeeeeeeedom!

I am finally finished with my first quarter of classes. It has not been an easy few months with working, going to school, and interning. I did get my thesis proposal done and also helped develop a user interface for online collection access at the Magnes Museum. I learned a bunch but I'm ready for a break. I refuse to think for the next three weeks.

On Thursday, I'll actually get to go and spend some time with my family and my dog, LuLu. I can't wait! I'll also spend some time writing letters to members of congress, in a small attempt to alert them to the situation with Josh Wolf which is quite scary to me and should be to you too. The idea of an innocent person behind bars for the holidays is distressing.

So, this is my contribution to the holiday decorations. It's kind of small so that at least makes it cute. Decorating in our neighborhood is getting pretty out of control, actually. Someone has transformed all the parking meters into candy canes, and in nearby Noe Valley they've changed the "Noe" street signs into "Noel." As long as I get some vacation and some boozy egg nog though, the holidays are just great with me.
