Doing the yoga tasting platter at the RSF, since some of them apparently involve a lot more Happy Child Posing than others. I’ve always avoided yoga since I lump it with corporate tea temples and spandex, but when it’s free and some woman is directing you to “spiral your thighs into your ground,” no peeks at the gift horse here.

No frenzied finals week this year. I must have earned it for the time crunches in the past three years, with the cake-taker being the four consecutive finals last year. With psycholinguistics already out of the way, french is the only substantial one, which is pretty awesome. I just might actually post a list of verbs and their prepositions ( Read more... )

The HR resources people appropriated Administrative Assistant Day and now it’s Staff Appreciation Week, which means they feed us copious mounds of food on a daily basis. Any time work involves a cheese tasting or lamb vindaloo pot pies is a good day. Fromager d’affinois made an appearance, so the “I am cream in your mouth x 3” cheese slathered on a ( Read more... )
