What to blog about? Everything?
I am here, in my office at about 10:50pm at night. This isn't unusual for me. I'm actually back in my office after having gone to a CCC leadership meeting from about 8pm to around 10pm. I do this a lot... leave my office, go to some evening event and then come back to my office again. People think I spend so many hours here because I teach so early and then can be found so late. It's probably true that I do work more than most. But my time isn't 100% focused on getting the academic work done all of the time. Large chunks of it include answering personal e-mail, doing planning for campus crusade stuff, writing blog entries, reading web sites that don't have something specific to work on them, etc. I'm probably developing a lot of bad habits.
I suppose my life would (could) change pretty drastically if I found myself in a relationship. I think that it would give me more of a focus on getting things done for academics while I was here on campus so that I could go home/out/etc. sooner. Right now, I look at my life and say... wow, how would I ever fit a relationship into my schedule. I'm always 'busy' with something.
I'd make it fit. It's important enough to me to re-prioritize my life around the things that deserve the most attention. Right now, my priorities lie with teaching my classes, working with Campus Crusade, and trying to get over my cold. Everything else is kind of secondary. Yep, sorry... this blog... not a top priority. Keeping up on certain TV programs, not a top priority, I'm afraid (although Alias does tend to get a certain upper priority range!)...
So, anyway... I'm going to the doctor's office again tomorrow (4pm) to further check out my ear situation. I'm taking regular hits of "Tussin CF" (Wegman's cleverly named Robitussin knock-off). Taking my amoxicillin, too... I hope and pray that this is over soon and I get my hearing back (hopefully better than ever now with this ear-wax fiasco coming to an end).
Today was tough, teaching my classes with no nasal resonance. Toward the end of each "lecture" it was kind of a matter of trying not to die... I definitely had to go "clear my head" (literally) afterward.
Well, now it's off to finish my last few photocopies before the morning and then get home for the night. 8am class in the morning (yikes!) Departmental meetings in the afternoon... office hours 2-4pm... doctor appointment after that... and then Games in the Crossroads River Room from 6pm til 10:30pm. Should be fun.
Well, have a good night, and God Bless!
-Andrew.
