Anticipation!
Dad's on his way, with a huge load of materials for the house. Mom said that the back of his truck was sagging, he's got so much stuff. Yikes! I expect that we'll see him sometime tomorrow evening, as it's about a 16 - 17 hour drive from South Surrey to Saskatoon. I wasn't expecting him until Monday (and was hoping this term's work would have been done by now), so there's a bunch of stuff that I'd really like to have done that just isn't going to happen. End of term, combined with flooding at both houses, has meant that some things have fallen by the wayside, if only temporarily.
I'm almost finished the last ever of my term papers. So much information, so little space, and too much to say have meant that it's taken me a bit longer than I would've liked. But, I'll have a completed draft finished by lunch-time tomorrow. I've learned a lot writing it, but I really do wish that it had gone faster.
We're looking forward to having much more time to work on the new house--well, at least one of us is. Dana's got a new job, which is supposed to be a term contract, that starts on Tuesday of next week. So, we're going to lose his help during the week . . . at least for the most part.
My life as a graduate student will be coming to an end this August, but because my thesis is written, I'm just waiting for an appropriate time* to defend. So, even though Dana likely won't have much time over the next several months, I should have a significant amount, once the revisions on my thesis are completed.
I'm hoping to get the Internet up and running at the new house sometime this week. Hopefully I'm more successful at that than at ordering a fridge (which is still missing in action).
