I feel like I've been flying through my life recently. I buzz from this to that and from here to there trying to get everything I need to done each day and never feel like I've done enough. Work has been nuts between the semester ending and parent conferences/meetings in the last two weeks. To what was already a crazy time of the year, I then decided to joins friends on trips outside of Sofia and I spent the last two weekends out of town.

Two weekends ago: Teteven. This weekend: Velingrad. Both trips were great and I promise (cross my fingers, hope to die) that I'll write about these two trips--tonight is just not the night.  My own bed is calling my name.

I don't remember being this busy last year but I guess I must have been.

This week is going to be a long one. I'll be working on Saturday as a make-up for one of the flu vacation days in January. Don't get me started on how much I dislike the Saturday work day. I despise it. And I don't believe in it. Still, I'll be at school with all of my colleagues on Saturday morning about 7:45am getting my things together and making sure that I am ready for the school day.

Ug.

Aside from school woes, at least I have Bulgaria's Liberation Day four-day holiday to look forward to the first week of March. I'm toying around with taking the train to Bucharest and checking out the city.  I've never been to Romania and I'd like go.

Needless to say, I am pretty clearly not going to reach my goal of 15 Bulgarian dishes in the month of February. But I am going to continue plugging away at it. It's just going to take more time.

Too bad I can't get more of that these days!!
