So.
Things about me.
- I really like how I feel when I manage a good run. Yesterday I got 4 miles total, running for half the time. It felt really good.
- On the other hand, I don't like building up to the good runs. And I'm pretty good about rationalizing NOT running if I feel tired or am sick.
- I recently started using www.dailymile.com to log my runs. And by recently, I mean last week. It's making me want to run a lot so I can log a lot of runs. :) Feel free to be my friend on the site. We can motivate each other!
- My favorite art museum that I have visited is the Museum of Fine Art in Boston. It has many different types and sources of art, it is large enough to take a whole day, if you want, and small enough to not be too intimidating. They change things often enough that I always find something new, but there is enough that seems familiar to be comforting to go back.
- My love of the MFA may be linked to my love of Boston itself. Boston is definitely large enough to be full of diversity and culture, but small enough that I love to walk around by myself. I'm not intimidated by it.
- I am rather intimidated by NYC.
- I love teaching. I lose track of time while teaching, in some ways. I know when we've been going long enough for one class somehow, but it never feels like a full 50 or 80 min to me.
- I don't think about my problems while I'm teaching. That part especially rocks.
- I got an iHome speaker/iPod dock for Christmas this year and my remote battery is already dead.
- Cool thing I saw online: there's a lady who interviews people after near-death incidents like the Hudson river plane thing. She says that people usually behave very calmly during things like that. I find that very intriguing.
- The thought of getting a tattoo seems less impossible to me lately than it used to.
- I love argyle socks. Especially knee-high argyles.
- I started re-reading the Harry Potter books over break. I read the first four in quick succession. I am back in NH now, and reading #5. It's probably my least favorite because Harry is so emo and cranky the whole time, and I can't seem to get into it as easily as I did with the others. I am really looking forward to the last two though.
- The first time I read the last book, I cried. Frequently.
- I would really like to go back to Nassau, to my formerly orchard hotel. It has a pool, kitchenettes, snorkeling equipment to borrow, and a you cross the road and you're at the beach.
- I re-read books, re-watch movies, and apparently want to re-visit vacations.
- Re-doing something is comforting to me. Familiar ground. I know the lay of the land, so I am more at ease to truly experience it.
- But sometimes that means that I don't make new experiences because my time is taken up with re-doing the old ones. For example, I have several new books that I could read in my spare time, but I am using it on Harry Potter.
- I am really excited about teaching this semester. It's my second time doing Child Development and I feel like I've got my head wrapped around it a little better this time. Which should make me a better teacher.
- I function better with order imposed on my life. This semester, my only obligations with specific time commitments are my classes and office hours. I may need to get someone to impose some more time commitments on me.
- I like to buy books in sets. If I get one of a series in paperback, then I like to get the rest of the series in paperback with the same design. Makes things feel complete.
- Once I carved out a space half the driveway wide and one car length long for my roommate's return from a trip after a heavy snowfall. My shoulders and arms were sore as all get-out the next day, but I was so proud of myself and my visible accomplishment.
- The neighbors are taking care of the driveway this winter, but I have placed the responsibility of keeping the front porch clear for the postal workers on my own shoulders.
There. I have submitted 23 things about me for your perusal and, I hope, approval.
