it's hard to believe Valentine's Day is almost here.

It feels like yesterday that it was the Christmas holiday! Work has been really busy lately, as has my doctorate class. This semester is my final regular class, Managing Human and Material Resources. Only two more sessions to go. Thank goodness! I'm feeling a little antsy at this point.

Important things going on right now (or recently!)

...This past week 27 of my 38 students took their Microsoft Certified Application Specialist Exams in Word 2007 and 20 passed! Woohoo - I am SO AMAZINGLY PROUD OF THEM! They are only in 10th grade so this is a huge accomplishment. Oh, and they are the first students in Delaware to pass this test - wow!

...Peter and I are finally going back to Prague - for the first time since August 2001. We've reserved the hotel, and booked our flight. The plane tickets arrived this past week. Thank you, Uncle Sam, for paying for this spring vacation! 40 days until we leave. Oh, and my passport just arrived too:

Nothing like doing things last minute, I know. My last passport wasn't expired yet, but my name changed when we got married, so I had to get a new one. I'm really looking forward to seeing my in-laws again!

...I meet with my Human Subjects Review Committee this Thursday, Valentine's Day - hopefully that's good luck!

...I'm going back to the gym tomorrow. I've been a bum and haven't been working out. I've been working plenty, just not exercising. As much as I hate to admit it, I really feel better when I work out.
