Travel Angst
Most of the mushy snow-berms from December's snowstorm have finally melted, thanks to a couple of wet and warm days, and tomorrow I get a coworker back from two weeks' leave. I am unspeakably relieved by coworker's return, but I miss the snow. Suddenly I understand why people don't keel over from the dark in the frozen north.

norabombay is talking about going to San Francisco over President's Day weekend, and is trying to convince me this is a good idea. If I fly out Saturday morning and take the red-eye home Tuesday night, I minimize vacation time burned and get the cheap fare. But I still miss class. (Since the last time I skipped school was April of 2004, this actually sounds kind of thrilling and edgy.) It would be a three-and-a-half day trip: I think I would manage to fill the time, but traveling is expensive, and I've been to S. F. So I am making the classic pro-con list, split roughly into PRO: S. F. = awesome, norabombay = awesome![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Tonight I start part two of Intro to Medical Genetics, also known as "ifnorabombay and I ever stop talking about and start writing that space opera thing, this is all going to show up in the Genetic Engineering Gone Wrong plot."
