bearshortyI woke up and there was snow everywhere! It really feels like winter now. Which meant I didn’t really go anywhere but I did get to play on the Wii Fit for a my 30 minutes to move around a little.
It was Sveta’s birthday today so I called her on my phone card and we got to talk for some time. She is in school doing an MBA and raising a daughter and I’m busy too. And she is seven hours ahead of me – so it is not always easy to find time to talk, even with Skype. We need to keep trying though since she is my oldest friend in the world and we grew up together. (Our mothers were pregnant together with us – that is how long I’ve known her!)
I finishing Buffy Season 2 today – watching it again – for the third time, all in order, and slower, and reading Mark Watches reviews, really gives this rewatch new layers. I’m noting all the problematic Xander portrayal and gender issues I didn’t pay close attention to other times.
I’m getting nervous about my three hour seminar class. It is a brand new format for me. It is a challenge and it keeps me on my toes but I’m feeling the nervousness. It has been building for the last couple of days. I know I just have to get used to it and I will figure it out as we will go along, but I’m just nervous and I can’t help it. A lot will depend on students too.
