Ready or Not
This week I was trying to get everything squared away to go to Honduras. I will be gone from my office for a week, and have no access to my laptop... sad... I am not sure how I will live. I have never gone this long without my laptop and internet. I will survive.

I got a ton done this week! As always being under pressure gets me to really kick things into high gear. So let me give you some updates on what happened this week.

In my consulting world it has been a great week! I got a contract from Southeastern Missouri State to do a hazing presentation on April 3rd. I launched a new clients website, Measured Success. Its a work in progress, and more features are coming soon. I completed contracts and updates for an old client, MMBA and will soon be revamping their website. My Western Region Greek Website got all the 2005 conference information posted, WRGLC. I am also in the final stage of securing one more website client, to be named soon.

On the fraternity side, Formal is T-minus two weeks. We will hit 100 people registered for dinner by the end of this weekend. I am leaving Ramon in charge of the rest of the planning as I will be gone. Today we are wrapping up a ton of items. It is going to be an amazing program. We will have a PowerPoint slide show with music, give out our big district awards, give out our Undergraduate scholarships, and recognize the contributions of the Brothers in our district to higher education and multicultural issues.

Work... well it was a rat race to get everything done. Housing review and counts, done. Extra board transfers and one more fraternity judicial, done. Sorority recruitment mediations, scheduled for when I get back. The idea for the Napoleon Dynamite program... scheduled! Greek Week... well... not done, but getting there. Who's Who...not done, but I started it all.

I am not heading to get to see Novali before I leave, but the good news is that Tamara is bringing her to Albion on March 20th for a couple days. My parents will come and visit as well and it will be great! So I will get to see her very soon! And I won't have to drive!

I have a few more days state-side before I take off. Wish me luck, I am super excited about the trip! Before leaving I enjoyed sometime in Grand Rapids. Went out with the guys Thursday night to BFE, my old stomping grounds, and had a great time! Friday went to drop off my laptop to CompuCraft and then a business trip to the Hilton with some of the committee members. It was nice to be in GR for a while, saw a bunch of people at GV and chilled with the Bros. Sunday I finish packing up for Honduras... and off I go!
