On Being Home…
It is nice to be ‘home’ with my family. It is strange for us all to be more or less living under the same roof again after so many years, but somehow it seems to be working out okay. The weather has been amazingly beautiful after a first couple of clouds and drizzle. I’m sitting…

Allergies
Earlier this year, I had some allergy tests done via blood in Abu Dhabi. The results showed I am allergic to most of the things I had expected and a few surprises. However, I was not totally satisfied with just the blood tests. So, my mom made an appointment for me at a local allergist…

Second Half of 2013!
Well, a new month brings me back to trying to write more consistently. I am not sure what happened to June, but in any case, I am going to try to keep to a writing schedule since I am on summer break. 😉 I have been home with my family for about a week now.…

MII…
Missing In Insanity….Yep, that’s me. How did June already fly by so that it is more than half over and I have not written a single post all month?! Wha…what?! Yeah, so I’ve been a bit busy. And…a little depressed I think…And a little bit sick or full of stomach bacteria that is… Maybe I’ll…

Mixed Reality Check
This morning I chatted with my supervisor. It was both good and not so good, but not necessarily bad. The good is that I am making good progress and understanding better what I am doing. 🙂 The not so good is that I will probably not finish in 2013 and need to refocus my outcome…

Health Conscience
Last week a friend/colleague at work asked me if I would be interested in joining her for interval training for runners at a nearby fitness center. Since I have not been running or even exercising very regularly I was not quite sure if I was up for such a challenging session on a regular basis.…

The Difference Black Makes…
For the last few weeks I have completely obsessed over this billboard that I have seen on our street. I could not for the life of me figure out what the ad was for nor what the image was supposed to me. For some reason all I could see was the backside of a female…

Conditionals…
Today I taught conditionals in my class. “If [this], then [that]” for adverbial clauses and future clauses. As I was thinking about the form of these structures, then I began to wonder about the meaning for myself…. Lately, I sort of have returned to contemplating the purpose of life and what I am doing. It’s…

Eleven Days In….
Time for a wee update on the drugs. Do I call them drugs or medication or is it the same? Hm… So, as you can see I still am pondering things at a weird depth, but the change is happening in that I am not really worrying about things so much. In fact, I feel…
