...and so this is Christimas... by mgtcs

Hello Everybody, It seems that my trip and academic work took much more time than I had antecipated. The good news is that I have been approved to complete my doctorade in the Psychology of Homicide at the University of Coimbra, in Portugal. The bad news is that, in order to make it happen, I must finish my qualification project by the end of January and have it approved by the end of February next year. I also need to work with my advisor here in Brazil so we can get funding for my activities in Coimbra. It is all quite doable, but also very labor-intensive to actually achieve. All of this, of course, while I keep up my day-to-day teaching activities at the local universities here. Please keep me in your prayers! All of the above means that I definitely WILL be returning to RR now, but that it is going to be be a gradual process. I will be posting images more regularly, trying to keep up with all the work from you guys, posting comments, etc., but it will be done gradually. I have to ease it step-by-step into my now even busier schedule. Slowly, though, things will eventually get back into track (they better, for I miss interacting with everybody). Regardless of all that, I would like to give to all my warmest season's greetings. Best wishes to everybody and their loved ones!!! Monica
