Spring Break

Spring break, march 3rd 2010, the beginning of a new blog.

I'm having a very good time enjoying my extra time during spring break, and this is how this blog was born.

I spent yesterday cleaning my house, cooking, doing laundry, watching French movies, uploading some grades for students, talking to a friend of mine and reading leisurely.

This is huge, because I have not cleaned my house for about two months.

I have not been able to watch French movie because my lover and I have some communication problems regarding our language ability.

Students grades are always the ones that I neglect till the end because I have so much other things to do, research, presentation, the classes I'm taking, meetings, etc.

I finally cooked a turkey bone that was in my freezer for about a month, with dried mushroom, a soup with chicken broth and mushrooms. Yummy. Sometimes I fantasize writing a dissertation about the kind of food I eat in the territory of north America. Yet in the end I always fall back to ethnic and gender study.

I chatted with an old friend of mine, who is not in Austin, TX, also struggling with his English and issues regarding ethnic discrimination. Experiences are shared, and he obviously works harder than I am. I felt very much like a content slacker.

What a

Goodday.
