September Miscellanea
September seems to be a flurry of activity for me. I seem to have more than plenty to do and not nearly enough hours in my days to fit everything in. This is despite still having a light workload. I'm beginning to wonder where all my time goes!
The university renewed my teaching contract this semester. I have 17 students this semester. Wow. That's my biggest class yet. They're a good group though. My big excitement for the course was putting together a coursepack for it. It's mostly reprints from books and magazines, and the folks at Eastman were very helpful. I felt giddy when I checked the bookstore website to see if it was available and saw it listed there as a text book under my name as authour, and complete with an ISBN number. Hye, I wrote a textbook! (okay, not really, but you know...)
In other teaching news, last weekend, I was out of town to facilitate an intermediate-level workshop on ritual design and execution for small or large groups. It's one I'm also hoping to offer in Montreal as a weekend intensive at some point. The workshops was very well-received and I was very happy.
What else? We're still waiting to hear how much the insurance will offer us for the car. In the meantime we still have the rental. I think the garden has pretty much finished producing now. I have some green tomatoes left. I just harvested my last zucchini today. The seeds are falling from the sunflowers. And my scarlet runners are nice and big. I'm anxious to see what my CSA brings today.
Okay. I'm off to school and then the gym!
