Being offline this morning really screwed the pooch for me. The mornings are when I read up on everything.
today I'm behind on the events and I have limited time to stop by.
I hope that everyone is doing well.
Well, there's not much to catch up on.
Nobody was able to post anything for hours.
Have a good day and catch you later, I hope.

I am a geologist and teach that too, when I get the chance, but it's rare here, though i have one student studying palaeontology at the moment.
95 % of my lessons are English, though.
What a small world! That's really neat:) When you teach a lit class, I'd be interested in what books you're using.

Are you teaching a full course load? -I have to ask, because my husband is so incredibly busy that he has zero free moments to spare. Even when he's at home for the day, he is constantly grading crummy papers. It's most of what the poor man does. He's had his nose to the grind so much, that I'm spending my free day baking as many of his favorite treats as possible, and I HATE cooking so that says something:)

'Never think of the future - it comes soon enough.'

Albert Einstein

(Aren't words easy?)

It is essential to plan ahead in science and in life, but to be fair , Einstein is just trying to be amusing here.
I always liked this quote and must have interpreted it differently. When he says not to "think of the future," I always thought of it as not to worry/fret too much about it. Chill. Stop Stressing:)
---
Your "future" discussions are reminding me of a quote that I LOVED from an 'alright' movie: "After Earth." I would own this movie simply for the discussion Will Smith poses in it. -He wrote the story, so good on him! Anyway, I LOVE the quote that fear can only exist in our thoughts of the future, a future which may or may not ever exist. Insanity! -Brilliant!

Such good stuff...


Feel free to tease me, but I have thought about this quote many many times. I even made my young son watch this part of the movie when we rented it. He's an older child adoption and has major trauma and fear associated mental health and behavioral problems. I actually think it has been helpful. -Couldn't let him watch the movie though. The monster aliens would scare him to death and I FEAR I would have a FUTURE of many sleepless nights :D
