Intro to the Catch-up

Ok, so I'm on Christmas holiday, and I finally have time to get on the computer and catch up on all of this stuff without the feeling of guilt that I get while school's in session because I should be doing a million other things. That was a huge run-on and I teach English. Anyway, I am going to try to catch up in chronological order. One blog after another. This may take me a couple of days, since the internet is pretty slow in the region right now, but I'll do my best.
