Well it's official. We wont be teaching for a week.  We're in the middle of a little crisis.  A swine flu crisis.  The whole thing's a little strange but that's that.  No school. The Bulgarian Health Ministry has declared a national swine flu epidemic.

It means that my time has opened up a little bit.  I've got some papers to grade, some Bulgarian to study and now I think I've got some travel plans to make as well.  There's also a piece of me that's pretty glad I was sick last weekend.  Funny, I never thought I'd say that.

Anyhow, that's the big news: no school for one week.
