It's been a while...

This has probably been one of the busiest weekst of my life, and I think, that's saying a lot! What's happened this week? Well, I don't have a ton of time to depict all the details, but instead, I'll bullet point and expand:

• I selected the classes I'm going to teach for the next 4 semesters
• Our website was attacked because of this article: http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=15176
• The company that supports our server was very unhelpful and rude to the IT people here (because they were Texan and didn't have patience for the less-than-perfect english of my co-workers), so I had to regulate on them. We got the website up and running with the help of a Catholic who was trying to access the story, but couldn't so he sent us a fix and now we're moving our business to him.
• For Lent, I've been going to bed at 10:30 pm (Sunday-Thursday, because I've been staying up late...and it's been a real sacrifice! I hate to get up early, but it's better for me, so that's what I'm doing.
• I've been working on developing our internship program for the summer, which is a lot of work! On top of just organizing the details, we also have to raise the money, and attract the interns!
• In addition, I've been trying to prepare my syllabis, identify articles, create my presentations, and layout my final paper requirements for my class.
• Working out hasn't been a priority, but I'm still making it to the gym 2-3 times a week.
• I played soccer again on Saturday, I scored a goal from mid-field (it really was a great kick), the rest of my game is still pretty horrible!
• "Uno" has become one of my favorite games here. We played until 3am on Friday...I also learned how to say a few bad words in Spanish from playing...
• I made a 15 minute presentation on my Economics Seminar to 100 people on Tuesday and it went really, really well (I'm teaching in English because it's a bi-lingual school). So well, in fact, that a teacher that doesn't understand any English came up to me and said he understood everything I said! It was clearly because I drew pictures, involved the audience and made the normal specticle that you've come to know from me...
• Yesterday I had an outstanding meeting with the two teenagers I'm teaching Catechesis to. They are really starting to understand the faith, ask deep questions, and make strong moral arguments. I also got a nice email from their mom saying how she's starting to see a real change in them! Praise be to God! The Holy Spirit is certainly working! She also sent me home with a loaf of banana bread and some money (which was nice to have a little bit of income for the first time in a while).
• Oh, and I'm still trying to learn Spanish...

I promise to do a better job of updating in the future. It was just one of those weeks...
