Happy birthday Aimee! 1 month ago

All the best wishes for you today and for the rest of the year! I hope the year is full of blessings and thoughtful self-care. Maybe it’s good timing for your spa visit :)

_{and let me know if you will be in Austin! I’ll give you a heads up if I will be in Houston. :)}

Learn Spanish

my spanish is so rusty 1 month ago

All the years of Spanish in high school and college have flown out my ears. My vocabulary is horrible, my conjugation is atrocious, and my pronunciation was always unintelligible. Now that I have a couple Spanish-only students in my class I am struggling to communicate at all, much less expect them to learn science from me.

Does anyone have tips on how to get better at understanding spoken Spanish (my reading is much better), and to improve my pronunciation? Or tips for how to get my vocabulary up to snuff?

contemplate getting a moped for my daily commute

I just saw this on Faustus' list 1 month ago

and I have been contemplating this for a couple of weeks now! Making it a little more concrete here. It will depend on where I teach in the fall and whether I can commute that far on something electric, or if I will need gasoline.
