Last night I had the classic "unprepared" dream. I was cramming for an exam that was scheduled to take place the following morning. I felt comfortable that I was ready for the majority of the test but suddenly remembered that a portion of the test was going to be on the Portuguese language....this is when the panic sets in. I then realized that not only had I not attended any of the courses on the topic but I didn't even have the right text book! For a brief moment I began to rationalize that my background in Spanish would help me fake my way through it. Wait...first of all, I haven't spoken Spanish in over 10 years and second, even if I still had a working knowledge of the language it's still not going to help much with Portuguese!!! Dammit! At this point, I'm pretty well freaking out....I HATE-THAT-FEELING. Fortunately, I was brought back to reality by the sound of my 13 month old son crying. Ironic...I know.
The good news is, while I don't have all the '09 planning complete, I do have all the necessary items listed and am making good progress checking them off. Here we go!

As the Portuguese say, "Você é parafusado." (You are screwed)
