Year in review posts, they’ve been done before… And I’ll do one gain! 2013 was a great year for me! I finished my MA in Education accomplishing an important personal goal. It did...
Yesterday my vacation started and so I decided to take a few days off from the blog starting today. Christmas (and my girlfriend’s birthday) are only a few days away, and I am...
