Two posts in one week...

that is sheer craziness. But, i have seen crazier things happen, so here it goes. I have a couple of quick things I want to blog about.

First, I want to talk a bit about the class I am teaching this semester. I really was in the mood to blog about this on Monday night after the class, but i was too tired. So, the class was GREAT!! I had a really great time teaching it and I felt that the students really enjoyed it. I had them write down the most confusing part of the lecture on a piece of paper at the end of class and hand it in. my goal is to go over those points at the beginning of the following class. many students wrote some really nice comments about how they feel they are going to enjoy the class and that they already learned something on the first day. yeah for me!! I guess I just really enjoy teaching. I always have and I always will. I think teaching social work information is going to be even more perfect. I found myself being able to explain things very easily, it was a great feeling. Anyway, all this to say, I am really excited about teaching this course despite the challenges I am sure it will present.

Second, due to "inclement weather", my classes were canceled on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. this is good in that I got a slight break this week and had more time to study. this is bad because i am sure we will have to make up those classes some time in the future. oh well, it will all work itself out.

Third, Michael and I have picked up on this show called Man vs. Food. We have only watched it a few times this past week and have actually vowed not to watch it anymore for the following reasons. So the premise is that this guy, Adam, travels all over the country and finds the best hole in the wall restaurants with the most unhealthiest delicious food ever and he tries to eat as much of everything as he can. He also has a competition, hence man vs. food, each week. Last week, he was in austin and his goal was to beat their reigning champion at Juan in a Million and eat 8 Don Juan tacos. He got through 5 and called it quits. On one of the episodes, he went to Amarillo and ate that huge steak they have at the big texan. he won that challenge. anyway, since watching this show, michael and I have been craving some unhealthy food. We usually eat pretty healthy at home, so since i had the night off from class, we decided to eat out. I asked some people at work for some burger food joints and they recommended buck n loons. it is a local arlington restaurant with lots of fried food and burgers. well, we went there for dinner and got our fix of fries, potato chips and burgers. It was very delicious, but it also reminds me how I feel after eating such fatty foods. ugh. All in all, it was worth it, but I will keep that type of eating out to a minimum. I will say the price was nice also. pretty cheap and a co-worker gave me a 25% off coupon. good times.

well, that is all, I am off to continue prepping for class.
