They say variety is the spice of life

It seems I will teach Shakespeare this semester as part of my practicum. I am a bit scared to be honest. My knowledge of Shakespeare is basic at best, and I am sure I would gain more from sitting in the class than standing in front of it.

It’s an interesting thing to be so suddenly thrown out of our comfort zone. I could have taught any kind of novel more easily than I would any kind of drama. And I must teach the best-known drama of them all. It’ll be challenging, to say the least.

Biking fail

Wow, okay.

I tried to go to school on my bike this morning. MISTAKE. Victoria is a very hilly town, and I overestimated my capacity for going up Graham. Had to turn around at Finlayson, unable to bear going more uphill.

As my boyfriend just said, 10 points for being ambitious, and minus several dozen points for attempting it without having biked for 10 years.

Well, a summer of getting back in shape is awaiting me!
