I am, indeed, alive!
Three months, two classes, 1 nasty bout of insomnia, complete social isolation, utter lack of time for crafting or blogging and 9000 cups of coffee later, here I am.
This blogging hiatus was brought to you by the fact that I taught two new-to-me courses this past quarter - physiological psychology and developmental psychology. One each at two different schools, with two VERY different student populations. It was a 3 month long lesson in student needs/demands, the logistics of lecturing to 350 students 8 times a week, and my own personal limits on the need for sleep/proper nutrition/exercise/social interaction. (Apparently I can go for 3 months with none of the above. Who knew?) Let's just say it was an adventure. Perhaps I'll say more when I can think about it without twitching.
To celebrate spring break, darling Sarah came up to visit. It rained, which kept us from doing much lovely leisurely walking or exploring, but we certainly found ways to fill the time.
Thursday night, Sarah, H and I joined my sister and future BIL for the Brewer's dinner at Ray's Cafe. Many tasty beers were paired with tasty plates. The food was lovely and the company delightful!
On Friday we had dinner and cocktails with the lovely and talented Ms. Rebecca and Ms. Jenn. The food was fantastic, the drinks were enlightening, and we all had a bit too much fun. (Or was that just me?)
Look! Sarah brought me a terrarium! I knew that she and some other friends have been on a terrarium kick lately, and I was thrilled to recieve a wee adorable one of my very own. Isn't that just the cutest little container? And it has shamrocks and a snail shell in it, along with some beautiful moss. My very own tiny garden! I love it.
I haven't had time to spin or do much knitting in the past 3 months, but am hoping to catch up with that, now that I'm a little less overwhelmed with lecture-writing. Stay tuned for updates.
