Week of December 6, 2010

Whoa, Christmas Break is upon us!!  Finals, too.  To me, finals are, yes, a little stressful, but they are fun, too.  I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but really... you get to kind of "show off" and surprise yourself with what you can learn and how much you really know if you put some focussed time into it--instead of just winging it.  Also it feels good to clear the slate, to get everything done, and then to start fresh a few weeks later.  How did you all like the Living Leadership forum?  I hope you liked it.  How are you all doing on your assignments?  Hopefully great!  : )
