First Post in 2011!!

Almost two months have gone by, thus, I believe an update is necessary.

I had an amazing Christmas vacation at home.   Although it went by way too quickly and I did not have a chance to see everybody that I wanted to, it was great to be home and see friends and family whom I cherish and love.

Since I've been back my students and I have been busy finishing up the first semester.  This semester had a very rocky start but it has ended on a positive note.  My students actually learned something and I am proud to say were also engaged in most of the material studied.  It has not been a perfect semester but it has certainly been a successful one.  I am looking forward to the new semester as it brings with it some much needed prep time.

I've also started a course which will keep me busy between now and April.  It's an additional basic qualifications course which once completed will give me my senior qualifications in English.  The course has only just begun but I am enjoying it.

Some friends and I have planned a trip to Vegas next month.  If anyone has any suggestions as to restaurants we should eat at, places we should visit, shows/attractions that we must see, I would love to hear them.

I'm looking forward to a positive, fun, and healthy 2011 and wish the same for all of you!

Cheers!
