高く空 朱に染めし日の 燃えるごときの雲模様

dance (ノ゜o゜)ノ dance (ノ゜o゜)ノ Two weeks of mega-intensity are over. We were only up until 1:30 last night grading Calc III. Though it’s probably luck of the draw, the high score from this exam was in my second recitation again. Teaching has been particularly fun recently. I gave a review session for the exam that I think went pretty well. It was exhilarating though, because I was lecturing to nearly 100 students in a room that was big enough for 400. So the kid closest to me was still 15 feet away. There were 6 huge blackboards, three of which you could slide up and down, so it was a seriously huge lecture hall. Awesome. The prof for Calc III told me he’d be out of town this coming Monday, and offered his 10 o’clock lecture to me. Since I’ll be in Chicago and will have no time to prep, I declined, but teaching the regular Calc III lecture to 120 kids for an hour would be awesome, and I’m still pretty pumped that he offered to begin with. Meanwhile, all my homework(s) that were due this week went off without a hitch, and I think I actually did quite well on them. What a relief! Friday I’ll leave for Chicago, which will be, without a doubt, awesome. Going over to my mother’s this afternoon, and then Tyra’s tonight to watch The Office and the Rockies game. That should be nice, since I saw her last like…a week ago. Halloween Costume

Well. The guy who hit my car (hit & run) two weekends ago didn’t have insurance and the police can’t prove who was driving the car. So I’m SOL. Weak.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed between that and school, but I think things should let up pretty soon. And by pretty soon, I mean Thanksgiving.
Chicago 10/26-10/28 for which I am stoked.
Meanwhile, these articles are really cool:
Blatant benevolence and conspicuous consumption

Things are going well. Brandon has made wine out of the hundred or more pounds of grapes from the backyard. Apparently, we’ll find out how it is in about 10-14 months. I am pumped. His first beer turned out really well, and I wish there were more of it. “Baby. Imma gonna brew you…a draaaaaank. brb 7 weeks plz.”
I am packing my bags for Boulder. I have a suitcase full of clothes next to me, with duplicates of all my toiletries, to leave either in my car or at Dan Honaker’s place, for when I stay nights at 30th and Colorado. (Close!!!) I also have a ton of workout gear packed. I think I am going to start training with the CU Ski Racing team. I don’t know if I can afford it, but I will be interested in seeing what the people and the coach are like.
Training during the dry season is daily, M-F, and focuses on core and legs (orly?). During the ski season, training is at Eldora from 8:30-10:30 M-F, and races on the weekends. I think though, that it’s only as seriously as you allow it to be, so maybe I will just try it out. It will be an expensive experiment, but I will be a much better skier for it, I think.
I ran 7 yesterday, which felt good. I think, that if I don’t keep doing the ski training, that I will keep ramping up the running. Maybe I will run Tokyo?!? Haha. We’ll see.
This month: Beefest, Chicago, Halloween, Snow, First Exams, Adventures.
