I tried the sweetened shaken blueberry white iced tea- it's okay, it's like a tease, I guess I'm not much of a tea person- the sweetness of the blueberry is tempting, you can smell it, then once you've taken a sip, you'll taste a hint of blueberry and then wham bland tea- it took a while for the blandness to disappear- when it was diluted by the ice, plus a packet of sugar, and lemon to sweeten it some more...
I'm reading the Curious Writer (the text I'll be using to teach), I finished chapters 1-4... it had a lot of good writing prompts and tips... some topics discussed such as brainstorming, fastwriting, writing badly, etc. I've experienced from my classes such as Writing of Ficiton, Publication Workshop, working a bit at the writing center and more... the challenge will be passing on/transferring all these information and my experience to my students- make it relatable/applicable to them... some words kept popping out such as, dialectical thinking (relationship of opposing ideas), rhetorical (study and practice of written and verbal communication- purpose/goals/audience), recursive (back and forth)...
I got a haircut... the lady said she blended it this time (correcting the mistakes of the barber who gave me a faux-hawk)- time will tell... I still wish I have personal hairstylist to style my hair everyday. It's nice to be a self-made person and be able to do it yourself, but the advantage of hairstylists is perspective. They can step back and distance themselves, to see the whole picture/your whole head...
I finally talked to one of my advisor, and he's completing the form that will waived my out-of-state tuition... hopefully he'll have submitted it so the guy who would approve it, will have it filed by this Friday... because I need to finalized my tuition payment plan (the detached operator directed me to find and fill the form online)... I'm hoping that I can catch them on Friday before closing time and hand in the papers, so when deadline comes (Monday Aug. 20), at least they have the document.
Summer summary/recap and final packing will happen tomorrow...
