You can sing the rest if you would like to.
Tomorrow is the start of week 11 of our 12 week spring quarter. That means I am almost finished with this quarter. In anticipation of the three week break and having a much lighter course load next quarter, I decided to pick up a part time job. Yeah, teaching is technically a part time gig, which means now I have two part time jobs. I started this past week as a line cook. It has been pretty fun so far. My brother has been training me in. After a 10 hours of "training" I was pretty much on my own yesterday. I think I did ok. I only messed up a few salads. My station is salads and deep fried things. I do not deep fry the salads. I make a pretty mean fish 'n chips though. I like cooking, and the prep work doesn't bother me. I am a little rusty with restaurant cooking as my experience in a restaurant is 15 years ago, but I think I am picking it up pretty quickly.
As I mentioned, next quarter I have a much lighter course load, teach just two classes. Hematology and Parasitology. Both of these are classes that I really like. Bugs and blood. Fun stuff! For comparison, this quarter I teach 3 classes plus I am the surgery assistant technician, so technically 4 classes, plus I am taking 2 classes. Next quarter, teaching two & taking two.
The two classes I am taking this quarter are 300 and 400 level businesses classes. Next quarter I am taking "Intro to humanities" and a class called "Global Citizenship." It isn't at all what it sounds. It used to be called student success. It is a class that first quarter students take to become acclimated to college life and do a service learning project (community service that we "reflect on" in order to learn) It is a two credit 100 level class. The humanities class is also a 100 level class.
Nick has graduated from school and taking (and I am sure passed) the board. He should find out in a week or two. He starts his residency on June 27. In the meantime I am keeping him quite busy with to do lists.
And since I wouldn't be a true Minnesotan if I didn't comment on the weather: Really, it went from cool to 100+ then dropped 40 degrees in 2 days. Wow!! I dont really like 103, but I kinda like it in the upper 70s, maybe even 80s. BTW, the last time it hit triple digits in MN: July 15, 2006. Yup, just so happened I got married that day.
