'Tis the Season

Winter is not officially here, but it sure feels like, looks like, even smells like winter to me!  Brrrrr.  I hope you are all snug in your online classes, looking out at the frigid world with a cup of hot chocolate in your hands and a smile your faces.  Next week will be the last office hour and last school week of the year--2013, that is--so it's a good time to check your progress and your requirements, renew your commitment to your school work, and get ready for the final lap of the school year.  While I enjoyed visiting with some of you for your first checkpoint, I still need to touch base with many of you who did not sign up or who I couldn't connect with during the "official" checkpoint window.  That's OK.  I'll be contacting you individually to get a meeting set up.  In the meantime, happy winter/Christmas, Hanukkah (a little late), Kwanza, or whatever!
