Back at work
Sep. 8th, 2004 08:49 amEvery time I go away for a bit (even if only for a weekend) I feel refreshed and ready for a new beginning. Since this is a 3-day week and I have a meeting to prep for that's on Friday morning it will be a busy one.
My first class of the semester was last night - it seems like it will be both challenging and thought provoking. Its a course on Social Policy, and we'll be focusing on welfare and poverty (particular interests of the prof - though investigating those issues should help us build skills to look at other types of policy critically/in a connected way).
I've been reading Bruce Campbell's "If Chins Could Kill" and I'm hoping to continue despite the fact that school's started up again. I finished the Traci Lords biography on the plane to Atlanta (while Brian was reading a book by Jenna Jamison - it will be interesting to compare). I'm also going to be starting a sewing project for Ashton - he asked if I'd make him 2 Han Solo style shirts but in black. I need to pick up the muslin soon and see if the Civil War era uniform pattern I have will cut it (though it will need alteration).
On the fitness front - I think given that I'm still in school I won't have the mental capacity for learning routines at dance classes. I'm going to stick to the working out at home/fitness class thing. Also, despite the fact that I have fun bellydancing and I love the goddesses . . . I'm not going back. I owe it to myself to admit that that form of dance isn't what I want to do long-term. Seeing a rendition of "Cellblock Tango" from Chicago (at the DragonCon Masquerade) served to remind me my main love for tap and jazz dance. Mind you - it was a demon/monster version of the song, but Fosse is Fosse, you know?:
