I, Muehlenhaus. U, Riedermaus.

Luckily it hasn't hit 100 degrees yet, not until tomorrow and Saturday, because this week has been long already. This is probably the first week where I've been busy from sun up until sundown since... well, since I was an undergraduate student. It feels great! It is invigorating! I can't wait to veg out in front of the television and just watch 12 movies this weekend!

I've created and presented nearly 15 hours of new lectures this week, which has been both fun and insane. The Institute of Global Studies workshop is going really well. I did my nationalism spiel yesterday, and my PowerPoint and lecture felt far more streamlined than ever before. I almost wish I would have had it this streamlined for my real class, but at least next fall I will have it down. I've enjoyed hanging out with Roger and lecturing in the mornings again. The classes are three hours each, but I'm used to that at this point, so it hasn't been bad. I'm giving a midterm to my class today. I only finished writing it last night. I think it is much fairer than the one I wrote the first semester I taught this course. The questions better pertain to the material.

Otherwise, I'm reading books for my class to keep up on their readings. I am reading "Into Thin Air" too. The dog is eating again. Life is good, and I don't have much to say or complain about because I'm too busy to think. Ciao.
