Frenchie
So I’m REALLY enjoying learning French, and I’ve just discovered that you can take some French classes through the U of C’s Continuing Education program. I’m seriously considering taking this one, specifically.
And then I can work on this certificate.
Wouldn’t that be super cool?
I also think that I get like one free class a year as a faculty member, so might as well take advantage of that.
Shoutout to Fitly
I’m pretty sure I’ve posted about these before, but if you are into running and want a fantastic running pack, give Fitly a try.
Their minimalist pack is SO light and comfortable. I wear this in the fall/winter/spring (when I don’t need to take water with me) and I seriously forget I’m wearing it.
Their hydro running pack is what I wear in the summer when it’s hot enough that I want to bring water just in case. Compared to a lot of the other water-carrying running packs I see people wear, this one is super low profile and doesn’t bounce around much (and probably wouldn’t bounce at all on anyone who’s even a little bit larger/taller than me. I’m so short I have to have everything on the tightest setting and it’s still a bit big, haha).
I’ve only seen one other person with a Fitly up here, which is shocking, ‘cause they’re SO GOOD.
Get one!
(I’m not getting paid by them, I promise.)
deGrom!!
HE IS BACK
Edit: and of course the Mets lose because the bullpen sucks and why should deGrom deserve run support anyway???
You know what’s better than a migraine?
Being five miles out on a walk and getting that sweet, sweet scintillating scotoma aura in the middle of your vision and you have to deal with partial vision loss for 30 minutes and then the migraine itself for another several hours and then that fuzzy, out-of-it post-migraine feeling after that.
THE FUN NEVER STOPS I TELLS YA
On a completely unrelated note, my job title has apparently changed. I am no longer a “lecturer” but am instead an “assistant professor (teaching).” Which sounds WAY cooler, so I’ll take it.
If I actually get tenure when I apply for it I’ll become an associate professor.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
