hit the ground running...

since i got back from tanzania last thursday, things have been a bit busy. here are some highlights from the past few days:

- went into work on friday and actually didn't mind! never felt this way about a job before, and i'm really enjoying it!

- shane and shane came to buckhead church this past sunday and started off our worship service with some christmas songs. they're really good...their harmonizing skills are amazing.

- the national hiv prevention conference started on sunday here in atlanta, and the clark university drum line (featured in the movie, drumline) and the alpha phi alpha step team (apparently, they won the national step championship this year) were part of the opening session...oh, and we had some interesting speakers as well...

- my dissertation is filed!!! much, much, much gratitude to angelika and shuwen for doing the actual legwork for me on and off campus...dude, i owe you guys like crazy...

- gave two oral presentations at the conference today...they went okay, but i'm really, really glad that's over and done with.

so yeah, it's been busy. susan h is coming into town tomorrow (yippee!!), and we're heading to savannah for a few days...will take pics...

...and then, i'm heading to la for the holidays in 17 days! yup, i'm definitely counting 'em...can't wait!
