Has it really been 5 months since I updated my blog? I’m sorry, loyal readers. I’m pretty sure that Mike Brandes is the only one who noticed, because he tweeted about it recently.

So here I am, feeling relatively uninspired and completely unmotivated to come up with something worth reading. So what you’re getting is an uninspired life update. I’ll try to come up with something better and post soon.

  1. Ben got accepted to grad school, which is great news. He’ll get a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology/Kinesiology. I don’t really know what that means, but he does want to end up doing research and being a college professor and working with athletes.
  2. I’m still teaching courses at Southeastern. I’ve been teaching online classes since January, but in a few weeks, I’ll be teaching my first face-to-face, traditional classroom course. It’s a Fundamentals of Speech class, which I think is so fun. I’m pretty excited. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4-4:50 PM, I will be teaching young adults the importance of learning how to speak without using “um,” “uh,” “like,” and “you know.”  I’m thinking of blowing an air horn each time they use one of these annoying verbal ticks it in a speech.
  3. I got a much-needed weeklong getaway in July up to Indiana and Michigan to see my family. It had been too long since we’ve been all together–although we weren’t really all together because Ben wasn’t there. I’m saving my second week of summer vacation time for late October after Syndi has my new niece. It makes for a long summer of work, but it will be worth it in October.
That’s all for now.  I promise my next post will be better.
