Thank you! Yeah, definitely can't complain. (:

I know what you mean about weather. I used to like snowy days way better than the grey and non-snowy ones.

I think a lot of fields are hurting...mine is letting in a normal-to-large sized class, but only because they got only me last year. Aside from any first-years, there will be only six of us, four of whom will be third-years, so we really need some more people to keep the research going!
