Back to it

Lately I've been living my dog's life:

Wake up
Eat
Nap
Walkies
Nap
Eat
Sleep

And it's not a bad life - not at all. I got lots of rest, I stayed warm, and we got some good snuggling in. But my brain has been switched off, and I'm ready to turn it back on. It's not good for me, all this laying around. It's like so many other things: a little bit is fantastic, but too much makes me grumpy and sluggish.

So today it's back to work. I have my first statistics seminar today, and I'm already dreading it. I can tell from here that stats is going to kick my ass. Tomorrow, on the other hand, is the first day of the undergraduate sexuality seminar. I've been given my dream job this semester: teaching undergraduate sexuality. I won't be teaching the whole thing, really only about half of it, but I'm already giddy.

I would like to take this opportunity to give a shout-out to my new phone. It's a Droid, and I'm pretty sure it's actively making my life better. It's easily the smartest phone I've ever had. And since it has a full touch-screen keyboard, I can text like the wind. Although I do have to mention that I've had to teach it my name and all my favorite swear words. I guess they don't come standard.
