Inner Dialogue

I was just sitting here thinking about some of the people that I want to give Christmas gifts to and what I wanted to give to them that would mean something to them. I love giving gifts because it is fun to show people they are special, not because I expect anything in return. So, as I am sitting here thinking, I realized something. This is the semester that friendships were made. I've been at Cerro Coso for three years but this is the first semester that I've been settled in enough to make some personal connections. The first two years involved transition and chaos, more personally than professionally. But this year... this year there are people I really enjoy hanging out with, that I really respect learning with and learning from. It's been a good semester (no matter how busy it was!).
