As if we haven’t heard this one before! I was at an orientation class tonight for teaching a couple new (to me) classes, and one of the speakers talked about how to deal with disruptive students…you know, the ones who text, talk, walk in late, eat Taco Bell (and aside from the smell being disruptive, …
Today was my first official day “off” after being done wellness coaching at RIT. Somehow, I filled the entire day (until now) with work…but what a fabulous feeling to not get up at 4am! Even though I’m still busy (somehow I ended one job and added three…we’ll see how that goes!), I feel like I …

I’ve been extremely busy for the past five days. I have two new potential jobs (that are requiring me to do a lot of prep-work), I’m still teaching seven classes, working more than full-time, and ….we moved this past weekend. Oh, and Matthew spent the weekend with us too. I’m happy to say that I’m …
