Spring Break

I don’t know about you, but it’s been pleasant having Spring Break -- having an extra week off between classes, and two weeks instead of one to do our homework. I didn’t do anything to exciting because my kids were in school. Their Spring Break actually begins in another couple of weeks. Great timing! Nonetheless, I’ve used the extra time to catch up on some things that I’ve been putting off for quite some time now. I took advantage of the beautiful weather Monday to get back to work on our deck. I started this project late last Fall and have had mixed success completing it because of my busy work schedule, inclement weather, and an abundance of school assignments. I ended up not making a lot of progress, but thoroughly enjoyed the fresh air and the warmer temperatures. Was also able to finish up some remodeling in our kitchen, as well check off some smaller things my “honey do list.”

I was also asked by a client of mine to write a letter of recommendation for an online Master’s program he is applying for in Business Intelligence at Saint Joseph’s University. Found this timely given our recent assignment on Business Intelligence. He feels this program will help him in his relatively new role at Southern Company in Business Intelligence. He hopes this program will enhance his ability to understand and manage data, apply data to business/HR issues and problems, interpret data using business analytics, and provide meaningful information and recommendations to business leaders. I felt a little more knowledgeable about the topic given the research we had just done on Business Intelligence.

In short, having the extra time has given me a chance to recharge my batteries and given me more time to spend on some of my interests and hobbies. It's great having breaks like this in our schedule. Summer break can't come soon enough. I don't know about you but I need to get back into the swing of things and finish up my last research assignment and case study for Monday. Yeah!!! I’m hoping I’m not too rusty after the time off. See you soon!
