Happy New Year! I hope that everyone enjoyed their holidays and are off to a happy and healthy 2012. I had a wonderful time during my week off, spending most of my break with friends and family and the rest of the time relaxing and enjoying an open calendar. But, now it's back to the grind! This year is interesting though, because with New Years falling on a Sunday, students got a third week off for their winter break - meaning that, although staff are back on campus, the students don't come back until next Monday! Although it's quiet, and kind of sleepy, I'm enjoying having a bit of transition time to get over the laziness I became so accustomed to over break. (I'm also enjoying better parking and lots of space at the ice rink - oh yeah.)
You know how, in December, you see that things are coming up in the next year and think that's so far away, but then New Years passes and suddenly you realize those things are coming up much sooner than you thought? Now that I'm out of the holiday time warp, this week is all about preparing for those 2012 things that are suddenly right around the corner. I've been updating the summer interns website and getting the application package ready to post - turns out I am taking over many of the internship program duties this year, even more so than last year. I've also been working with Alumni Relations to hammer out the details of our upcoming event in San Francisco (the official announcement should be coming out tomorrow, so stay tuned). And other housekeeping here and there - updating the screen downstairs, uploading CIS news, adding seminars, the usual. And then before I know it, students will be back and things will be right back to normal - but this time with the addition of the post-holiday blues, WAH-waaaaahhhhhh.
I miss xmas cookies.
