It's been some time since I've posted. Grad school is over for this quarter and I have a break until the next residency in Seattle, in January. It's been really nice to have the time back in the evenings for personal stuff like reading and watching movies. I'm also looking forward to school starting again too.

M&N are enjoying their Aikido classes. H has been going with them and is having fun too. S and I have been hanging out more on Aikido nights which has been fun for me. She's a sweet girl.

This is the last week of school, then I'm off for two months! I'm looking forward to having more time to read and watch movies and try to get some personal projects done, but I realized today that I'm going to miss my daily interaction with the rest of the cohort too.

The kids finished off their Halloween candy today - we bought most of it off them, as we do each year, but they were still left with a pretty good haul, especially compared to the amount of that kind of stuff they usually get, which is close to nil. Seems to affect M pretty hard too, changing his behavior more than N or S.
