Creative Meanderings

Only got about five hours of sleep last night. I’m not sure why… I did go to bed around 2am, but thought I would sleep in…. Anyway, yesterday was a fairly good day, though not necessarily study-productive. I did get quite a bit of reading done, but it’s taking me longer to get through some books than I had hoped. I guess I just have high expectations… 😛 I headed out of the…

This is just a small view of the things I have planned to get through this week. 😀 I managed to accomplish in small doses everything on my list yesterday, though not necessarily as much as I had hoped for one day. Still, it is holiday and as long as I get bits done each day, I can feel content that the days aren’t being wasted. Today, I woke up pretty refreshed after…

It dawned on me this morning that this is perhaps the first time in three years that I have stayed put during a holiday. It’s a little weird. Also, I haven’t been on my own for a while, so I have to admit that I’m quite a bit excited about the week. 🙂 After dropping off R at the airport this morning, I had a short run and then a swim and an…

While I am trying to recover from midterm hell, we got some more fantastic news today at work. Our vacation went from being a week long to just two workdays. WTF? Normally, I would just roll with the punches, but after the last two days and with more marking coming up tomorrow due to the incompetency of the program system, I am just not happy with these sudden decisions that again make my…

Okay, seriously, I thought it was bad when we had to double-mark 25 essays at the end of term. When I decided to do this new semester course, I figured that it would be an okay trade-off to have to teach instead of all the marking…. Then, mid-term exams were formulated – okay, I can handle that since I hadn’t seen them yet. Then, a challenge exam for students who want to try…

[simage=4284,200,n,center,][simage=4283,200,n,center,] Last week, or was it two weeks ago now, was a stretch of strange morning weather. Early in the morning until about 9am or so, there was a crazy mist that covered the country. This made driving to work rather interesting since visibility was as you can tell from the photos. Of course, most people continued to drive as if they could see for miles, but luckily we weren’t involved in any…

[simage=4287,288,n,center,][simage=4286,288,n,center,] Yes, it is true. There are days when I am at work from 7.30 to 5 or later and to survive the day, a little rest of eyes is required. The beauty of having my own office is that I can pretend to not be in the office. Also, because of the way I moved the furniture, you can’t see me doing a George Costanza when I need a little rest. 😀
