Happy New Year to everyone

明けましておめでとう
It's the 1st of the year and I'm rarin' to go to make 2016 the most productive year possible. As you can see, to celebrate the Year of the Monkey, I'm wearing my monkey suit and already working on my Blackboard page for the coming semester. Hope the new year brings you productivity--not to mention Love and Happiness--for a great 2016. Peace to everyone.
