Sep. 5th, 2012 10:14 pmI’m getting used to the commute to Local College. The last part of it, though, is a walk up a pretty steep hill for about 5-7 minutes after I get off the bus. It is good exercise, but right now my legs are still complaining. Tonight at home, I did 15 minutes on exercise bike too – I figure that hill counts as more time.
One of the Local College professors tried to rope me into being a second reader for the undergraduate thesis, which is not something I wanted to do. They really don’t pay me enough to take on extra work. So I blamed longer commute and said no. I need to say no much more often.
I really like my “History of Law” group – 14 students and many who participate makes a lovely classroom. I also like that all my lectures for this semester are pretty much written – I’m just perfecting the ones I already have - and it is nice not to have extra stress.
On the way home from work, I got lettuce at a grocery store and delicious chicken franks from this kosher meat place and I stopped by the post office to get stamps and mail the thanks you cards. Yay, getting chores done.
