The Boot

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:54:16 GMT

Turns out I had an inflamed tendon. Been in "The Boot" since early October. So no working out for almost two full months. The six pack is not there- nor will it be for a while.

I have gotten out more. I am hanging out with a grad student quite a bit and with people from my church too.

Got set up with a boy. Really like the boy. The boy assures me the feeling is mutual. The boy will be here this weekend. Can't wait to spend another weekend with the boy.

Church stuff is going well.

Need to get on that whole looking for a job thing. The grading is killing me this year and I really hate grading papers. I can do tests no problem (well writing them sucks since they need to be challenging but not impossible) and don't mind grading them really at all, but the lab reports suck my will to live from my body. Yeah that bad. Did I mention I have 4 days of lab next quarter?

Time to look for that job.....

How are all of you?

So yeah, an update

Well lets see in the last two weeks I have learned that I have two bones in my foot where most people have one, and that your foot can hurt so bad that even the weight of a sheet on it causes EXTREME pain when they are irritated. Yes it was as fun as it sounds.

I now have therapy to do for my foot- yeah PT for my tootsie, and another appointment in 3 weeks. I also came down with a horrible head cold the day before my birthday which just let up today. Yep out of commission for two whole weeks

So, I have not worked out for two weeks due to my foot and my health, and I have not gone out for two weeks due to the same causes. Not doing so well on those objectives, but as soon as I am fully healthy I will begin the attack again.

New year resolutions

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 00:08:18 GMT

Since I am still teaching it seems only fitting that I make mine at the start of the school year. So here they are posted in public so you can hold me accountable.

1) Get fit, as in six pack proud to show off my midriff fit
2) Get out more, way too much staying in last year
3) Go to Ireland
4) Date more, use internet and friends to do this, heck even student to set me up with older siblings
5) Find a job that will bring me back out west
6) Stay involved with the young adult's group at church

Those are them for now- thoughts? Any additions you think I should make?

Wondering

So I will be staying where I am now for at least another year. God didn't say "go" so I am taking that as a "stay".

I am getting more involved in church, activities, and with friends. I still miss XIX, Newsong, and the activities I could only do in sunny SoCal, but I am enjoying things here more too. I think having finished my first year of the job helps. I know what to expect, and I know when I can enjoy some free time and when I need to soldier through now too.

How are all of you?

Questions

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 01:46:17 GMT

Where do I want to be? What do I want to be doing?

More importantly where does God want me to be and what am I supposed to be doing with the talents He gave me?

Prayer gladly accepted.

Sledding with students and a trip to the hospital

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 03:17:48 GMT

My class invited me to go sledding with them last night. So in the middle of the worst snow storm the area has seen in years I drove back to campus and went sledding. It was great until a girl got seriously hurt when she went off a jump with her boyfriend. Long story short I ended up following behind the ambulance with her boyfriend in my car to the hospital. She will be ok, but the poor kid was really beat up, and didn't get her own hospital room until about 4am. So seeing them safely put in the room, her doing better and him having decided to stay with her in the hospital I drove home, again through a huge snowstorm. The roads were awful, I was one of the only ones on the roads and I prayed for safe travel all the way home, arriving at 5am.

She is safely back on campus now, recovering and taking it easy. God is good. Thanks to all of you who got messages from me for your prayers.

Yet another new adventure for the new prof.

Heads up- I am looking for employment.

Hey gang, I need a job, so if you hear of anything ChemE or Biomed, in R&D, clinical, teaching, or postdoc wise please think of me and message or email me. My contract is up in June and I really want to have something lined up. I am working on leads and options I have found myself as well but I wanted to put it out there.

I am serious about this so please do let me know if you hear of anything or see anything. I am willing and able to relocate, have the baby boomer work ethic, and love to learn new skills and processes.

Prayer that God show me where He wants me and what He wants me doing greatly appreciated.
