Back in the Saddle Again

So I made it home and back over the holidays. I took a train from Stuttgart to Zurich and then flew to Boston. It was good to spend time at home and relax for a while. While home I was able to move some things into my new place (for when I finally return) which was a good thing. One less issue to worry about once I return from Stuttgart. Most of my time at home was spent trying to stay warm. The cold was accompanied with snow, which is a nice thing but some days were just too brutally cold. But I suppose I have to thicken my blood for when I finally move back.

New years eve was spent at home. Had some friends over and watched the football game which was a lot of fun. I was able to put the swedish fire log as well as the Feuerzangenbowle which was a lot of fun. The trip back to Stuttgart was a little stressful, the plane was delayed for around an hour and a half and then there was trouble getting the baggage off the plane in Zurich. These two issues caused me to miss the train I initially wanted to take home. I had to wait a couple hours till the next one went through. So when all was said and done I didnt get back to my place till 7. Needless to say I didnt go into the office.

Though it was nice to get in today and get back to work. The next two weeks are going to fly buy, two big deadlines, one with work and the project and then the other with my thesis book. And then Chris arrives on the 15th.

Its late and I'm tired.... I'll update more about my vacation later... few pictures of my trip can be found here (they are the few new ones at the end of the album)
