Yipe!

That? Is the sound I made when I saw the due date of my e-portfolio.

April 21.

Then I think I whimpered a little and had a mild heart attack.

That is less than 15 weeks away. I have 16 competencies, a personal statement, and a career plan to complete, upload and have approved, and I can't start until the 23rd. So, for those of you keeping track at home, this means I have 12 weeks.

And? Everyone and their brother wants me to visit them in the next four months. I have no idea how every event in the world has ended up occurring in the spring of 2008, but I'm probably not terribly excited about other people's expectations that I can attend numerous out of town happenings, because really? I'll be lucky if I get my hair done after this month.

In the meantime, I'm trying to keep myself from hyperventilating.

Happy New Year, indeed.
