Trying Something New (Exercise Blog #1)
I'm out of shape. And I'm tired of being out of shape. Everyone hits these moments every now and then, myself included, and I always push them aside. I'm too busy, I say, or I can't afford a gym membership, or the weather's bad. But my main reason for not exercising is that, to misquote the Prophet Chuck from Supernatural--exercising is hard.

Happy Birthday To Me!
Today was actually a great day on many levels.
- I woke up with more energy than I have in weeks
- I got paid
- My powercord that I ordered from Dell yesterday because mine randomly died was overnighted instead of 2-Day aired and thus showed up today
- My tutoring session was very productive
- Random presents from people I wasn't sure even liked me

Why I am Very Tired & Fandom-y Holiday Cards Request
Two weeks left of the semester and I'm about ready to keel over. I graded for eight hours in a row tonight and I'm going to probably have to do the same tomorrow night. I'm teaching 3/4 time this semester, and for the first time that means three courses. I didn't handle it very well, even though I only ended up with about 10 more students than I ( Read more... ) -
Actual Post of Actualness
So, to get caught up--weekend in Chicago was fine. I went to two really good sessions (on teaching comic books, and historical scholarship, respectively), had an okay panel in which Big Name Academic (I really want to just call them BNAs like BNFs) hijacked our panel to talk about her work. But it meant that no one paid attention to our work, and ( Read more... )
