It’s been a while since I wrote a blog. I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather during the past week. I’ve been going through the motions, but I haven’t really enjoyed the motions. I’ve organized my life in such a way that I am doing what I want to be doing, but even myContinue reading “Bouts”

I am excited about this new term. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and I really enjoy making money doing something that I love. I never quite feel adequately ready for a lecture though. But I’ve learned that the more “prepared” I am–the more I’m likely to rush and I don’t listen to the dynamics and theContinue reading “Class is in Session, I am not”

It’s 2:11am. I’m reading about the different clans within American Indian traditions. I think I’m a little nervous for my 4.5 hour class that I get to teach tomorrow night. It’s going to be good, but it’s the first class of the term, and I’m just a little nervous about everything. I cancelled my dentistContinue reading “US History starts tomorrow–strike that–today!”

Sooooo. . . I’m a little humbled. But very pleased!! Go Obama Barack! As for Huckabee–I knew he’d win it, but I can’t say it pleases me.

Iowa Caucuses! Today! Ohmygosh! This is the most exciting election ever! I make no predictions. I hope that Obama wins–but frankly–I’m pretty happy with all the Democratic candidates. As for the Republicans–I secretly hope McCain takes the lead. So these are my hopes: Obama and McCain. These are not my predictions. My predictions are HuckabeeContinue reading “Today is the Day!”

I’ve spent the last two nights watching Bowl Games. I forgot how much I love watching football! I have to decide what I’m doing for my upcoming birthday, and I think I want to either go with a group to dinner and a live show, or I want to have people over to watch oneContinue reading “Football”

I have to say I’m a bit of a Scrooge on New Years Eve. I have too many horrible memories of trying to find a party or have a nice time, only to end up driving alone when the ball drops. I am a bit of a New Years loser. But last night was justContinue reading “Happy New Years!”

I’ve been reading Malcolm Gladwell’s book Blink. Benazir Bhutto was murdered yesterday. Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama are running neck and neck in New Hampshire. These are three seemingly unrelated sentences–but I’m trying to come to a clearer view of the world right now–and somehow or other I’m going to make these three sentences relateContinue reading “Gladwell, Bhutto, Clinton, and Obama”

Before I do a list of favorite movies, keep in mind that I haven’t seen Juno, Waitress, Namesake, or even Transformers yet. I’m excited for all that my netflix will bring to me in the coming year.So far–these are the movies that taught me something in 2007. These are the movies that inspired me toContinue reading “Movies I enjoyed in 2007”

I just got home from spending Christmas in Lexington, VA with the Larsen family. I always have a good time with their family. It’s very relaxing, everyone is always laughing at something, and the food is divine. While I was there, I took some pictures of Lexington, home of Washington and Lee University and VirginiaContinue reading “Lexington, VA”
