spring break

this past week was spring break and let me tell you, i loved every minute of it. of course, i am a full-time worker, so i was still working everyday, but it feels amazing to get to leave work by 5 or 5:30 and be home by 6. what a privilege and something that i forgot was even a possibility.

so, the semester's going well. to give you a sense of what all i've accomplished so far: i've done a presentation and accompanying exam in my managing talent class; i have also written a bunch of pieces (including a case statement, SWOT analysis, prospect reports, and solicitation materials) toward a financial plan for a nonprofit organization. these two things are pretty big for me. even bigger are two program-specific things: (a) i submitted my application for the certificate in nonprofit administration at fels and (b) i submitted my doctoral candidacy portfolio. woohoo -- it feels amazing to get those two things off my plate, but on the other hand, i'm starting to feel slightly anxious about what the responses will be. will i get into the certificate program? will i become a doctoral candidate? i hope so.

anyway, the only thing that's really been disappointing about spring break is the weather. can it be 60 degrees already?
