Yea I suck at blogging.
I just baked an oat and ground flax seed wheat bread and its pretty dang good. I also made homemade hummus to put on my bread. I made chocolate chip oatmeal cookies last night. Ahhh the weekends allow me (limited) time to cook deliciousness that will get me through the week without having to succumb to the typical eating habits of a grad student.
I got a job. I work at this place now. It's very trendy and healthy and stuff. A woman came in the other day and bought $403 worth of yoga clothes and books. And by $403 worth, I mean, four articles of clothing and two books. Seriously.
It's a pretty sweet deal though. I get paid $11/hour working at the desk, ringing people up, etc. I don't have to clean any bathrooms. AND I eat for free while I'm working. We're talking local and/or organic food, freshly prepared. Hot dizzamn. The girl who typically closes the cafe while I'm closing the store gives me the stuff that they would just throw away because its a day too old or whatever. This is making me and saving me a lot of money. I worked 20 hours this week, and it was pretty exhausting. I'm sticking with that schedule for a few weeks to see how it works.
I'm going to start teaching a donation-based class in October. YAY!! I feel I may have misrepresented myself to most of the employees there. I feel that many think I am just a "desk girl" and don't realize that the real reason I'm there is because I'm a serious yoga practicioner. When I tell some of them that I'll be teaching the donation-based class, they say things like "Well, Hollis [the owner] is really selective about her teachers. Maybe she'll let you teach more later." I then tell them that I ASKED to teach a donation-based class because I want yoga to be available to anyone who wants to come, and don't want to require my students to pay $15 in order to do so. And because I trust that once students begin taking my classes, they will want to pay something. I know I shouldn't care what they think, but it just irks me that (after spending 9 months and $1,500 on becoming officially certified, and having a year and a half worth of teaching experience) some folks don't take me seriously.
I want a cat so hard. My neighbor has the sweetest cat, and she has taken to coming inside my apartment without even asking. Last night she spent the night with me. She slept where my feet should have been and I unfortunately had to kick her out of my room cause I kept waking up when she moved around. But I think I can get used to it. Only thing is, she has some kind of skin plague. My neighbor leaves her outside most of the time so she is exposed to other cats. She has really nasty bloody scabs she itches and reopens that haven't gone away for months. He has treated her with several different things, and it won't go away. I take pity on her, but I'm also grossed out about her getting bleedyness on my things.
Josh and I have been dating a year come this Thursday. It's been suspenseful waiting to find out if he is going to come live with me this winter or not, but as time goes by, its looking like it might go my way. Apparently he talked to one co-worker who was planning on not pursuing work with the company for winter so he and his girlfriend could have a "real relationship". This made an impression on Josh, as he relayed to me. To add to it, he spoke with another of his co-workers who had met me before about his dilemma (i.e. whether to pursue work in Florida with OB for the winter, or not try and just find work in Knoxville). The co-worker, initially, sympathized but didn't really give him an opinion. Said co-worker proceeded to go out on course and then come back, and when he did, he made a point to find Josh and tell him "I was thinking about it, and I remember Kim, and I definitely think you should go for it with her." Aww, yay for his friends.
Oh yes, and this grad school thing. Errr. I hate Childhood Language. I am convinced more and more that although I loves the kids, I don't want to work with them for the rest of my life. Neuroanatomy and acquired disorders are muuuuuuch more fascinating. I have the hots for my Neuro professor in all her brainy knowledge. I am truly beginning to think that teaching Neuro, Motor Disorders, etc. on a college level could be my thing, in addition to treating patients in hospitals.
