Allow me one more post, please.

I guess we all agree that this term was particularly challenging for all of us. From the get go we had our minds set on keeping up high standards and overcoming what we understood were limitations which prevented us from total fulfillment.The bottom line is we made it and that certainly calls for celebration!Needless to say I am very proud of being part of such an outstanding team of diligent professionals. To be honest with you I think we've been the right people in the right place doing the right thing (most of the time, of course.). No one whom we have dealt with long enough can deny that fact, including our dear students, whose UNMASKED opinions finally surfaced in the recent polls.
Lord, that was about time!
For all such reasons I should tell you that it is exceedingly difficult to have to part with you, but... that's the way the cookie crumbles as our oversimplistic American pals would put it. The time has come for me to accept new challenges. Hopefully, as has been your case, dear friends,it is the right moment, the right place, and the right person.
You might be asking yourselves whether I have been given the sack. Please, hold your tears! I won't be around in Valqueire anymore because the branch in Madureira is, among other reasons, in the GMD category (geographically more desirable). And, as I have mentioned before, there is a less travelled road for me to traipse on right there...

Well, enough said!

Love you all dearly!
All the best!
Take care!
See you around!
Merry Xmas and a wonderful 2009!
