Finally, the answer to the question
Trying to get ready for the school year to begin. I'm teaching an overload. Something I'm sure I'll regret later on. But with sabbatical coming up, I decided that I wanted the money.
Since I have spring off next year, I'm going to go to Alaska. I think I'm going to go on a cruise. I have this dream that I'll get some of my friends to go with me, and I'll have a fantastic time seeing glaciers and wildlife, before it all melts. I was talking with Rahzone today and she said I should bring my scooter for excursions. It sounds really amazing. So that is part of what I want to do.
I also want to go on a dive trip somewhere warm. Hawaii, Mexico. I'm open to ideas, as long as it is not too expensive. Diving is expensive to start with. I also hope some friends can come on that trip as well. But these are definitely motivations.
I think I'm going to have to put pictures up of reefs and scuba divers, and of eagles and orcas and bears. So I remember why I'm doing this.
Did I mention that my courses are all packed? It's going to be a tough semester.
Travel scares me. You would never know it the way I travel. But it really really does. It is pretty damn hard getting around when you don't fit into seats. Not being able to walk very far and being in pain complicates things even more. Being a giant bald freak actually doesn't seem to have as big of an effect as most people think it would. People are either terrified of me, or fascinated. It makes for interesting discussions on public transportation.
I was going to go to all these conferences as things, but I decided that I wanted to do this instead. And it's kind of nice to make that kind of decision for a change.
