Spring Break

The only reason I know this is Spring Break is because I'm not at school teaching or going to class. But I'm still (when I'm not napping) working my butt off, trying to catch up/get ahead so I can make it to the end of the semester in one piece. So far, I have one personal health risk appraisal, notes on some articles, and half an outline to show for it. So far my department is offering one class in the fall that counts towards my masters. Wonderful. At this rate, I'll be done around the same time as Nate...who is getting his PhD. I'm making triple berry muffins. I decided we needed a treat. Being home all week means more time with Penny. She likes to stalk small animals and birds outside of our sliding door during the day. At night she stalk her reflection in the glass. I suppose I'll go back to my lame outline. I never outline before I write a paper, but this is a required assignment. The sooner it's done, the sooner I can move on to less offensi...

In a sea of nameless faces

It felt like at Hope I could walk anywhere on campus and almost guarantee that I'd see someone I knew. I don't get that feeling at Purdue. Now that's probably because I know an infinitesimally small percentage of the student population, but it still feels like you are just another face in the crowd. But today walking back to my building, I ran into a student from last semester and we chatted for like 5 minutes about our semesters, spring break, his exams and my teaching schedule. It was just so refreshing to see someone I recognized and feel like someone remembered me. Basically it made my day and he was a really nice kid. Now I'm rememorizing ATP production and lipid transport, but I fell asleep on the couch for a couple minutes because I'm sleepy. In other news - it's Nate's birthday! So give him a call or drop him a line and wish him Happy 23rd!

I want one!
