...and so this is Christimas... by mgtcs
Open full image in new tabDescription
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

Congratulations on your forthcoming endeavors. Studying in Portugal should be very interesting, like a gateway to Southern Europe. It's been so long, but I'm glad you had time to post a holiday image. Good luck with that busy schedule and have a wonderful holiday season.
