It's been a rather frantic week for me. It's the first week of our new semester at school and we are in the process of wrapping up the fall semester.

I stumbled home last night after 8pm. I spent 12+ hours at work. I taught my heart out and then entered grades and comments into our electronic system. Part of this was due to a little case of procrastination on my part. Part of it is my work computer. It's a dinosaur. I used to think that we had a love-hate relationship but actually I think we have a hate-hate relationship. And the worst part? My computer is passive aggressive.

On my way home from work today I was just thinking about things. I realized:
<ul>
	<li>Sometimes I get insanely jealous of small children who speak Bulgarian.  I hear them jabbering away and I think, ug. I wish I was that good.</li>
	<li>That all of the pans I have to bake with in the oven are too big and I am unwilling to make a giant pan of musaka which I'll then have to eat for an entire week.</li>
	<li>I am no longer worried about getting stopped by controls for riding without a bus ticket.</li>
	<li>Spring is much too far away.</li>
	<li>Crimped hair will forever remind me of Bulgaria. Not the 1980's.</li>
	<li>Despite working more that I'd like to, I like school.</li>
	<li>The bomb blast in front a weekly newspaper in Sofia is kind of weird. And the news about it is even <a href="http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=125134&amp;utm_source=twitterfeed&amp;utm_medium=twitter" target="_blank">stranger</a>.</li>
	<li>I was way to excited today when I got my own Onda coffee points card. I don't even know what I can earn with my points but the girl asked me if I wanted one and I said yes.</li>
	<li>I'm excited to go to Teteven this weekend to celebrate my Bulgarian tutor I.'s birthday.</li>
</ul>
So, that's that. Life is generally good. <em>Busy</em> but good.
