OK quick post because I feel like I have fallen off the face of LJ, and all my latest posts have been nothing but promises of longer posts to come. So, Iam fariad to look and see how long it has been, but there are a few things I am sure I have not posted about yet. Let's see.
Class: The final class for the seminar I have been teaching was wednesday. Alos on wednesday was brain awareness week (baw). So for the class we were planning to have the students present in class, but I saw a flyer for BAW which was a day when all these middle school kids come ot the UW to learn about the brain, and so I offered to have the students present at that instead. Turned out a lotof them were interested and it was a really great time. We had forced the students to come up with really interactive exhibits and had encouraged them to give out prizes etc...this ment a TON of kids coming to our tables. So it was a little like choas, but in a good way, and I felt like a teaching grandma cause my students were all excited about how excited the kids were, and I was all excited about how excited my stduents were. It was great!
Book Chapter: Recently Sue asked me if I wanted to write a book chapter with her. Luckily it was due only about two weeks later so I didn't have a llot of time to dork around with it, I just had to write it and be done with it. Acctually turned out preatty well. It was a little stressful, and I was preatty convinced it sucked for most of the time I spent writing it, but everythign worked out in the end.
Illness: As many of you know I have been in and out of illness for the last month. Started as a mild cold, then got worse then got a little better, but would not go away, then started to get worse again, turned out it was strep. got penicillan, and felt hella better. On my tenth day of penicillan today. My nose is still intermittantly stuffy and I had a huge coughing fit last night, but other then that I am feeling much better.
Work: Well, that is ploding along. Acctually I feel like I might be about to make some progress, we'll see. It is going OK though
SCA: Not a ton gong on...I hve ebeen hanging with a lot of my SCA friends so I feel like I have been doing SCA stuff, but only been to a few events lately. On ef which was the Wyewood feast which was an awesoem feast, I had a great time even if I could not make the fight seminar before hand *see book chapter*
Family: All doing well. Aurana just got backfroma trip to Vale which sounded awesome. Grandma is doing well. Mom and grnadma are going on a trip to the East in April. Hopefully all goes well. Aurana and I are trying to plan a trip to China in June. That is going slowly, but hopefully will get finalized soon.
OK I think that is all I have to report. Now off to have my lunch.
