I rode my bike to Boulder today.  It was raining out, but it seemed like as good a day as any to ride: cool, misty, and interesting.  30 miles, 2 hours.  Not exactly a fast pace, but it’s a start.  I am excited to ride with BK, since he is working in Boulder for now. We have also set up a helpful carpool.

The semester is underway already.  I had the opportunity to teach the Calc III course for a few days, instead of just TAing it, so I jumped on that, and really enjoyed myself.  However, I can’t imagine what it would be like to teach multiple classes each day and try to do research actively. Professors are pretty awesome. The interesting thing about summer classes is that the students are either high achieving and pretty motivated or they have failed the course before and have therefore seen the material before.  This allows for a faster pace for everyone.  I like it.  I have become a much better teacher in the past year.

Life is good.  I feel solid physically, mentally, emotionally.  The best part is that in a year, I’ll look back on how I am now, and have lots of interesting things that I have learned about life and living.  Not regrets, but realizations and understanding.  Fun.
