Moments When I…
want to find a new job are the ones when I am reminded just how immature, irresponsible and petty this place is. Sometimes I am unhappy with my colleagues and other times it is with my students. Today or rather yesterday, it is my students. They don’t want to do homework. They are given an…

Vibram FiveFingers
Just before the summer holidays one of my colleagues was wearing these amazing shoes and I asked about it. It was also just around the time that I was reading _Born to Run_ to motivate myself to really get into running. Since I love toe socks (pictured in the _Born to Run_ post), I was…

Busy Fall Start

Ups and Downs Update
I thought it might be good to start off with a post on my “ups and downs” as it has been a while since I wrote anything about it. By the way, this is what I call my ‘bipolar’ tendencies. My therapist and I have agreed that I definitely have a pattern and whether or…
