Yesterday's pounding surf has quieted down quite a lot. It was awesome. . . standing out in the dunes, in our backyard, really, was awesome. . . .wind blowing, looking down the high banks to the beach below, the high waves waves crashing onto the beach. . . loudly pounding the shore. . . . just that wonderful feeling of "being in it" and still "being safe". . . .NICE!
Doesn't seem to be much erosion on our beach. . . the rocks are still there and the sand seems relatively free of debris. Sometimes after a hard storm the beach is rather cluttered with all sorts of "treasures". . . .The sun might even come out later on today. . . .it's UP there. . . .
ROAD TRIP> A little later today I will load up my FIT. . .Honda Fit. . and head back to campus for a few days. I plan on being home in good time for Labor Day weekend. Mme Bouvier (my gramma) says she's like some company. (I am an not-for-profit guest in her home. I have my own apartment at one end of the house, with my own entrance if I am coming in later. Gram is very discreet. . . she never comments of any late-night arrivals. Claims she never hears me. . ;-)
She loves having "someone to cook for" and loves it when Peter arrives for the weekend. "Ahhh nice. . both my boys are home!" We love her loving fussing over us, and Gram is a wonderful cook!
I want to unpack my stuff and settle it into my space. Then I will mosey on over to campus and hunt down my mentor and some others in the psych department who prolly with me roaming around somewhere or t'other. I want to chat up my mentor [for whom I am a TA . . teaching assistant. . . .this comes with a stipend, btw. . ;-) ]. Under his supervision and guidance I teach two sections on Intro Psych three times a week. I had one section last year and they had asked me to take on a second. . if I could. . . So, of course, Do-All-O'Shea agreed. I hope I haven;t bitten off more than I can handle.
I was chatting yesterday with one of the guys-en-blog about that and he asked me if I found the more I had on my plate, the more energy I seemed to have to work on it. . . And I guess that is true. . . .I guess. . . I can 'rise to the occasion' I've observed.
So I want to look into the line-up, class sizes, etc. . . and organize my class stuff for the freshmen and freshladies. . . .and check into my own program. This is finish up semester on my Masters. . .whuuuuuuuaaaaahhhhhh !
I will be sure to get all your postings "approved and online" and report in on all major and news-breaking events as the slosh down on the world of academia.
Ciao ciao ~~~

Look how the light hits his eyes. . . . .sees right thru me. .;-))
