No time to think – No time to sleep – No time to dream – No time to run – No time to plan – No time to eat – No time to chat – No time to be at peace – No time…. and yet when we die we will have all the time in the world! It wasn’t meant to sound like a poem when I quickly typed this out, but…

With the bad, there is some good…
This week was not only long and tiring, but also eye-opening or perhaps confirming in many ways. First, the extra physical exertion of walking 10-15 mins to class, 10-15 mins from class, 10-15 mins to a meeting, 10-15 mins to class, 10-15 mins from class and some days another 20-min roundtrip walk, plus any extra errands takes a toll when not used to such activity each day. I already have an exercise regimen,…

Zoo is really a zoo…
I’m totally wiped out from this week and it’s only half-way – well, thankfully it’s now down to the last two days! It has been a nutty week at work with a new campus, new course, new managers and the same ol’ BS. 😛 Will update more later, but it’s time for me to veg out right now!

Gardening – the beginnings
We tend to not buy a lot of vegetables and then when we do they go bad from sitting out too long or neglect of use. One reason is price, cheap vegetables tend to poor quality and I hate to pay a ton for good ones. Thus, I thought it would be great to 1) have some fresh home-grown ones and 2) force us to use them up as they grow! My childhood…

Phew…
It’s been a busy week. My posting run has slowed down considerably…not sure if I will be able to keep up as regularly, but we shall see. Anyway, spent most of the week wondering what to prepare and catching up with people. Plus, getting used to the new campus has been tiring…. It takes 20 minutes from end-to-end. Average time to a meeting from my office takes anywhere from 2minutes (down the hall)…

New office
[simage=4227,200,n,center,][simage=4228,200,n,center,][simage=4229,200,n,center,] After getting over the excitement of finally feeling like a proper professor and getting my own brand-new office, I quickly wanted to make it my own. While walking down the hallway and looking in the other rooms, I noticed that everyone had the same layout and felt everything was rather “square”. [simage=4236,200,n,center,] So, I took a few moments, recalled the many times I rearranged my bedroom whilst growing up and began to…

Back to the grind…
Took a bit of a computer break yesterday and am back to work today. The new campus is pretty impressive and I love that I have my own office. Tomorrow I will take pics… today I am wiped! I’m out of practice for a full day’s worth of this working thing… 😉

Greener grass…
As the day to return to work draws nearer, I find myself feeling a little depressed. It’s not that I oppose working, or even that the job itself is bad. I mean, really, how can I complain about having the holidays that I have?? So, I have been trying to sort out why I seem to have this down feeling when I actually used to like preparing to head to work. At the…

What?! It’s September?
Hard to believe another month is about to start. Just another couple more days of vacation freedom, but I suppose it will be good to get back into the swing of things at work. I know that it will start off with a sprint, so I am working hard to just enjoy the last bit of slow days! 😀 [simage=4219,288,n,center,]
