Mar. 8th, 2014 08:20 pmHappy International Women's Day!
When I was a kid, it was a big no-school today holiday where I would get presents. I just got chocolate today. I was spending the last couple of days in my parents' house and my Mom watches a lot of Russian TV, so they were all big on the celebration. It feels bigger this year to me.
This week was pretty busy with all the grading and folder review and I still have a ridiculous amount of grading to do. Midterm time generally is super busy. I'm looking forward to Spring Break in a week.
My parents were overfeeding me - and I discovered that the only way I look forward to drinking milk is with a home made banana smoothie. I do need more calcium so banana shakes will be in this week for me.
Marianna is having another girl! So it is all girls for us. That should be super fun. And Baby Bear started kicking just a little bit - I'm pretty sure it's the baby and not gas this time.
On Wednesday night, Malcolm Gladwell's David and Goliath came in the library to borrow on Kindle. I was done with it on Friday. I liked it, especially the story of David and Goliath itself with David with his super slinger skills. I think Outliers had better stories but as usual Gladwell makes you rethink many common tropes and he is certainly interesting.
