My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • I keep thinking that one of these days I’ll catch up and be on top of everything again. So far that doesn’t seem to be happening. My goal over the next weekend and week is to sort myself out so that I’m not working every moment or waking up at the wee hours of the morning thinking about it. This has just not been a good start to the year for a number…

  • Just thought I’d give an update on my starts. The pics are from two weeks ago and I need to take new ones, but have to replant some seedlings first. Maybe next weekend…. In the meantime: [shashin type=”photo” id=”6259,6260,6261,6262,6263,6264,6265″ size=”small” columns=”3″ order=”user” position=”center”]

  • I’ve always thought fighting was a waste of time. It’s generally a time when people are trying to convince someone else of their point of view when that person doesn’t want to hear it. It’s sort of like having a conversation with a wall or trying to talk to someone through a door. There’s no way that what truly needs to be understood will be heard or even considered. In one of my…

  • So, most of last week I was pretty exhausted and felt totally overwhelmed by everything. This weekend I vowed to settle myself and to get my schedule reset so that I could better accomplish what needs to be done. Then, as I was looking at my calendar, I realized that I needed to remove my NuvaRing. TMI? Well, it’s important to know because once I take it out, I have about two days…

  • It’s hard to believe yet another year of the film festival was upon us. With all of the busyness going on, I wasn’t even sure about attending any films as I can barely stay awake past 8pm during the weekdays. In past years, I’ve gone from attending around 10 films over the week-long festival to choosing one particular venue to choosing a few that are at reasonable times to attend. 🙂 So, this…

  • 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 entire week to accomplish 5 readings (30mins a day), 5 Pinterest pin posts, and a discussion post over…

  • 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 totally fascinated by these shoes! Before my summer accident I had great plans of running outside in Thailand…

  • I have a few thoughts mulling around, but no time at the moment to get to writing on it… So, instead, here are some photos from life here in the crazy Dhabs! [shashin type=”photo” id=”6243,6242,6241″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”]

  • Lately, I’ve been considering a new future blog. It won’t happen until I finish my PhD because really I don’t need yet another blog or way to use up my time…. However, I’m torn. I’ve got this blog, my professional blog and started an ADPOV blog that lies dormant. I barely keep this one up and my poor professional blog has long been neglected…. Still…I’ve long wanted to have an adoption blog. Yet,…
