Due to the infamous Gripe Porcina (Swine Flu) our school has been shut down for two weeks. Even better, we're getting paid for it. :o) Aaaaand thanks to scheduling rearrangements, we're really only going have to make up for 4 days! This is such a HUGE blessing (for those of us who aren't sick and miserable, I mean) because we finally have time to get caught up on grading and get life organized again.

...Yeah, we're also going to take advantage of this and travel. :o) We're almost all going on a group trip to Roatan, one of the Bay Islands in the Caribbean, and then afterward a smaller group of us are going to head over to Utila (another one of the Bay Islands). They lie along the southern end of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-longest coral reef in the world (LonelyPlanet.com), so I'm basically expecting to happily float on my stomach for the next week and a half.

Later today, some of us are going downtown to explore the city of Tegus. I'd like to bring a camera, but since we're taking public transportation everywhere, I might not. We'll see.

Enjoy this beautiful Thursday/Saturday!!!!!
