Topic: Life, hooray life!!!
In 10 days I’m going to be in London. A four-day whirlwind tour, including seeing two close friends who I haven’t seen since I studied abroad there in 2002, and who will be married that Sunday!
In 14 days I’m going to be in Israel. A two-week trip that currently is completely unplanned. I’m just showing up, making my way to a friend’s place, and enjoying my vacation. Not concerned with seeing the sites, or ingesting all of the politics, although I will do that. But just enjoying their culture, being care free, and then, another wedding!
In under 24 hours I’ll be delivering 10-15 copies of my book to my NYC Teaching Fellow class. You don’t know how excited this makes me. I’m dying to hear people’s thoughts, and to stimulate a range of conversations that are at the heart of what we’re all getting into.
In the next 48 hours I need to type-up a number of assignments for my classes. Teaching philosohy, classroom management plans, examining NYS learning standards…
The past 48 hours I’ve been trying to break out of my comfort zone, and re-create past experiences that I’ve enjoyed. I woke up at 5am to run 3.5 miles today, and the other day I ran 3.5miles, and then another 3.5 with my roommate. I’ve been eating healthy, been thrifty, enjoyed steak and beer w/ a friend.
Trying to make life happen…
