For me, both personally and professionally, it has been a challenging year. This is especially true from late October through today, when it seems that I am along for the ride, rather than being in control of my life.

I am hopeful that these next two weeks allows for time to rest, rejuvenation, and reflection. I am aiming to completing many tasks on the home to-do list, do clean out the drafts bin of this blog, and to begin to plan for the upcoming 60 weeks, getting ready for the 2008-2009 academic year.
