classes this morning...
i wasn't looking forward to them, truth be told. haven't had enough time away... but... it was nice to be back. interesting stuff. yeah. i do like the courses i'm doing... i got my physics test back and i did get a bunch of 1 mark for this and 1 mark for that. and i made stupid errors and even i know better than that... so there is hope for me doing better in the exam with practice and a... calmer approach.
and law was interesting, too. i think she is learning how to push my buttons (doesn't take much to get me started, as you know). i guess just generally she has a much better idea of where things are at with the class... maybe the topics are more interesting to me... maybe that is it...
anyway...
need to get better at remembering relevant factoids etc. she is going to try and get the 3 strongest answers up for all of us by the end of this week... really looking forward to that... seeing what she liked... going on in the same way...
gym.
animal bio.
i ordered an organic chemisty model kit with biochemistry upgrade and lone electron pair paddles upgrade.
i've been going through the cell and devo coursebook for next year... doing the campbell bio readings for the relevant sections... the structure of the cell... dna... mrna... following through how proteins are made. really interesting... i know next to nothing. really interesting.
anyway... time to focus back on this year...
another batch of grading this wednesday...
then i need to 'pretty pretty please can i take 3 weeks' with the last batch - in which case i have a few days to do them after my final exam. otherwise... i have a batch of grading to be doing throughout the physics test / exam period... which is... far from ideal. but there is a reason they pay me... the idea was in fact to think of this job as a fourth class... so... i'll cope either way.
that's the spirit. the new spirit. take time to slow down a bit now... getting used to the idea of... keeping on trucking... so used to stop and start and stop and start of before... i wanted to learn to be more... constant. this is it...
life is pretty good, yeah :)
