A Song for You

we'll go with salsa...Marc Anthony - Preciosa

I registered for classes for next semester today. I'm only going to take 3 1/2 unless something amazing comes up.
Global Information Systems
Micropolitics: NGOs and Development in Civil Society (my last required course)
Women, International Developments, and Global Health
NGOs & Humanitarian Disasters (a half semester course)

I may continue working on my capstone paper to get that published if that goes well this semester.
I may sit in on a French class to brush up on that.
I also want to look into getting EMT certified...it can't hurt to have some medical skills, and I've heard Pitt has a course that's fairly easy.

Anyways, the light courseload is so that I have some time to work on job applications, interviews, etc.


Work:
I'm working on a proposal for the dean for starting up a leadership portfolio/certification program.
We're going through candidates for our new Exemplary Leadership Award. We're looking for this person to come do a lecture or something in the spring, so that'll be cool. I'll get to meet another someone important =)


School:
School's going well. Lots of work as usual. Nothing too exciting.


Fun & Fitness:
I go salsa dancing at least once a week, sometimes twice. It gets expensive if you go too often =( I also swim about twice a week. I'm up to 25 laps (I did 12 the first time) (ok, I take some breaks in there but still...). My goal is to be able to 25 with no laps by Christmas, and 50 by the end of the school year. Now that we turned on the heat and the house isn't a freezer anymore, I'm going to try to start doing pilates again. I'll have to use my laptop though b/c Sydney chewed up the remote so now we can't switch the tv to dvd.
