Happy Holidays!

Hey there. I hope all of you had a happy holiday and have fun things plannedfor this weekend's New Year's celebrations. After getting back from Brazil, I had a pretty low-key Christmas with my family and enjoyed spending the entire day eating, relaxing, and doing nothing past that. It's so great to not have to worry about getting up for classes or for work.

Although I don't have to do any school work, I'm still spreading myself too thin during this winter break. Going to school 3000 miles away from here makes it difficult to keep in touch with my friends back on the east coast, so, whenever i come back, I try to see as many of them as possible. So far, I've been making that long drive back and forth to DC daily to meet up with people and it has me wiped out. Also, I overcommitted myself to helping business school aspirants with their applications, so I've been using most of my free time this week to review essays often into the wee hours of the morning. I love helping people with B-school stuff because I didn't have any current students to help me through the process, but I'm going to have to retire from the "B-school assistance game" soon. Finally, I'm also trying to find time to work on a web site design project for a non-profit that is in the start-up stages. I agreed to help with it a couple of months ago after a friend of mine directed them to me, but finding time to actually put in work on it has been difficult. Dang, if things are this hectic for me now, I'd hate to see how things will be when the Winter quarter starts up in a couple of weeks.

OK, I've got to take my mom to the airport. Take care and, if I don't get another chance to write an entry before this weekend, I hope all you have a Happy New Year!
