I never blog much around the holidays. There's so much going on, and I'm usually really busy at ASU. Beth came by this weekend. She was in town for a wedding, but she spared some time to hang out with Kelly and I. Josh stopped by too. It was a blast.

I have some good news. I got the reviews back from my paper to American Mineralogist. They were generally good, and the journal asked for a revision, which is usually a sign that they'll publish the paper. Finally, I may get my paper published! Keep your fingers crossed.
