Aaaaand, I was too late asking, as it was answered before being asked!
Hee!
I actually spoke! And participated! And joked around! And developed a wee crush on my prof! She's adorable.
We have lots of little assignments, but not a lot of big ones. She wants us to really read and enjoy it. We have to employ a "very technologically advanced" method of reading our books. The "Post-It" method. Basically, we post-it a comment or question or thought next to a part in whatever our book that week is, plus the textbook and we start our discussions from there. There's no minimum, no maximum. She says, "I'm teaching reading, not writing. You wanna learn to write? I teach that too. Just not here." We each have to do a short read aloud for class. I go on 2/4. My genre is "Traditional Children's Stories/Folklore". I'm TOTALLY reading Goat Girl. SO EXCITED. (Goat Girl = Tatterhood, Norweigan tale. Not the Greek tale called "Goat Girl".)
But I keep wanting to call her "Megan", not "Mary" because her last name is Mulally.
Yay for good class!
I start class tonight for the semester. I don't think it will be all that fun, as it's about Public Policy in Higher Education and the like.
However, it's taught by the adorable, brilliant, been everywhere since the Nixon administration, fruit sharing (seriously, he passes out apples and clementines in class!), slightly spacy professor that I had last semester who only requires 2 5-page papers. Whee!
My other class, I have a feeling, will be dry as all get out. It's Human Relations in Business.
Which would be interesting if it was a class about whore-ing. But I saw the text. It's not.

*ahem*. "Companioning".
If one can use "companion" as a verb.
I am living in Puerto Rico currently and will be here for at least 18 months more. vw is in St. Thomas on vacation and was here last weekend.
sorry - I thought you were coming stateside for a little while - my bad
Susan - hands are tough. Lots of portraitists didn't bother, you know? Or screwed the pooch and went w/o.
well, on Sunday, I'm leaving for my parents' house in New Mexico with Ellie. We will be there until 2-3 weeks after the baby is born. Then in mid-March, I"ll be spending 4 days in Chicago and 3 weeks in Minnesota and then it's back to New Mexico in mid-May until the end of June.
(And I'm totally planning on writing about it. I just haven't had anything brilliant to say about my travels so far that hasn't been better covered by others.)

ok, so driving on 95 yesterday didn't kill my brain...
And I'm totally planning on writing about it.
awesome!
Glad you class went well, Aimee! Sounds awesome!
I do not know how vw's tea is made, and now I know I don't
want
to know.
Meanwhile, Day 2 of Atkins Induction is wending to its close. And I have to say that, whether or not I lose any weight,
damn
it's nice to be eating my own cooking again. I do like cooking, but since it's just me I can't often be bothered, and have fallen into the habit of having pasta or getting food delivered all too often, if I don't eat out. But lo! Today I have made:
- eggs scrambled with garlic cream cheese, topped with smoked salmon.
- home made cream of mushroom soup with a handful of mozarella and a healthy sprinkling of black pepper and fresh coriander, followed by roasted red pepper stuffed with chili/pepper/lemon-seasoned slices of steak and a garlic creamcheese/sour cream combo, served with mixed leaves and chopped asparagus.
Mmmmmm!
God, I
love
mushrooms! There were 2 kinds in the soup, but I have a 3rd kind in the fridge lest the leftovers need padding out tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I seem to have signed up for
Sweet Charity.
Which is insanity, really, because I'm so out of the fandom loop that
no
bugger is going to bid on me. And yet I seem to have signed up to write fic/read podfic/send an exciting mystery package of shiny things from Bangkok.
It seems highly unlikely that I will be called upon to do any of the above, but one never knows.
