Sometimes I worry that I am falling out the habit of blogging. Sure, it's only been a day or two since I've written last but recently it's been hard to find the time to blog. It's been hard to come up with things to blog about. It's been feeling forced.

That's when I realized that maybe I am in a little slump.

Things have super-duper busy at work between grading, the quarter ending, a faculty talent-show/concert that I am participating in and then there's trying to find time to eat, sleep and do laundry. I just feel like I've been running around and not actually getting anything done over the last week and then some. It's been a push to do everything I need to each day and my to-do list is growing longer rather than shorter.

Even extra coffee isn't doing much for me.

Still somehow, I've managed scrape up enough time to talk to/email/chat with two of my blog readers. Granted these have been brief exchanges but they've kind of made my week. One reader and I have mutual friends through Georgetown and she friended me on facebook after she realized. We tentatively have made plans to meet up in May when she's coming home to visit family. The other reader is in the process of adopting a Bulgarian child.

Needless to say, it's actually pretty cool that our shared interest in Bulgaria brought us together. These are people that I can only assume I never otherwise would have met.

And as a side note, it's strange to think that just three years ago Bulgaria was not one of my interests. Oh the things a Fulbright scholarship can do. Speaking of which in the Sofia Metro I've been seeing signs for the Fulbright. Maybe you have too. I think it's a really great program and worth checking out and now's the perfect time they are accepting Bulgarian <a title="Fulbright" href="http://www.fulbright.bg/" target="_blank">applications for the 2012-13 school year.
