Inspired

Wow! I was at a great meeting yesterday at the department that I am hopefully joining in a couple of weeks. We discussed course literature, scheduling, hopes and aspirations for "my" course and a lot of other things related to teaching at the uni. It was magnificent! ;D

I can honestly say that I don't think that I have ever been so inspired when it comes to my career so I just can't wait until the necessary paperwork is pushed through. I want to start working now!

Just as I was about to leave, my boss to be asked me about my research preferences as well. My interpretation is that I will be allowed to do some research of my own related to the big project that we will be a part of and that we are managing. It's a dream come true! ;D

So I'm totally inspired, and I walk around with big ol' smirk on my face. It's good to be me! :D

Cheers!

Un-even is the word

It truly is. As I said in my last post, I haven't been frequent with my blogging, and I really need to force my self into writing... Once again I will promise to be better at it.

So what's new? I'm still unemployed, but hopefully not for long. An opportunity has arisen that would allow me to work in academia, both in a research project and as an educator of young minds. :D The topics? Urban logistics with an environmental twist, something that I really would love to work with. So fingers crossed that it will hold... :)

Apart from that? I exercise a lot. I normally go for 4 - 5 fitness classes every week, and I think it's amazing! I never was much of a fitness kind of guy before, but this past year has really turned that around for me. I have even been to a fitness instructor course, so I am now qualified to hold BodyBalance classes. In the next two months or so, I need to make a video of me teaching a class, and after that I will be a certified Les Mills instructor.

I have recently re-discovered climbing as well, and I fell in love with it. So next on my "developing myself" agenda is to participate in a course to learn more about securing others as we go climbing. It's great fun, and if you have ever thought of learning to climb, all I can say is: Do it! You will not be dissapointed... :)

So, I once more resolve to try to be better at updating this blog, and hopefully I will be able to tell you more about my new life at the university soon. :)

Cheers!
