a new semester...

The students have only been here four weeks, but it has been nonstop since they landed. Hard to believe its really only been a month. (Maybe I'm not as behind as I feel?) The non-stop is starting to let up a little bit. (LEETLE bit). At least enough for me to enjoy a saturday to myself and the chance to catch up on a few things.

Before the students arrived we had some fun staff retreat and work days gearing up for the new year.

I work with some pretty fantastic people, and for this I feel entirely thankful and grateful. Makes the go go going a lot more fun.
