Away a Long Time

Well, it's been a long time since I've last posted here. I do intend to get the posts back up and running, but I have had a lot of changes going on recently, and keeping up with my own life has been quite a bit distracting. This weekend, I will be heading to Grand Junction, CO for a conference where I will be presenting at two workshops, and trying to build connections for IRI. After that, I will be coming back home, and, with luck, be able to catch up with myself again.

Some of the ongoing events that I am working with include:

• The recent acceptance of my PhD application in Intercultural Education (hooray!)
• Making class selections for the program in August
• Weekly youth programs focusing on cognitive development and critical thinking
• Preparation for the Grand Junction Trip
• Rebuilding the IRI website (we should have a new site up in the next few months)
• Preparing for a training trip to the Philippines and Hong Kong
• I will be in the Philippines for several weeks in May
• I will be in Hong Kong for June and July

In short, I'm keeping busy. I didn't intend to stay away from the blog for so long, and I can't say when I will resume regular posting again, but I do intend to get things up and running in the near future.
