Today is the first day of the fall quarter, so I spent a decent amount of time reading introductory messages from classmates, reading about my professor, and looking over the syllabus. What's (possibly) neat is that we don't have lectures to watch/listen to for this class. We're just supposed to read a bunch of stuff and write about it. It could be good. I didn't end up having time to start reading officially for class, but I *did* print up the list of things I'm supposed to read, so I'm halfway there, right?
I also read a sign that I hadn't noticed my previous 2 times at yoga. It was just a few guidelines for new attenders, and thankfully I hadn't broken any rules. Phew!
As a noob teacher, I also read e-mails from people telling me how I should be doing everything differently. Awesome. I know that this is a part of life, and it gives me a lot more compassion for preachers.
The best part of today, though, was that I had the inaugural session of my Bible study with college girls. Tonight it was just me & one student, but we got to have a really good conversation. I really don't care how many show up. I'm going to make myself available & be there consistently, and they can show or not show. Tonight we started reading Ephesians, and being that predestination is mentioned, we got to go off on a great tangent on things we find difficult & how to look at them. It was a good night.
Other than that, I looked at insurance listings to see if a certain chiropractor I want to go to is covered. I actually had 3 in mind: one that I found doing a search for "sports chiropractor" and 2 recommended by the local running store. The one I found searching is covered, so I'm going to try to get into him tomorrow. In addition to my usual back issues, my knee has really been acting up, and now I pulled a muscle in my ribs or something. Yesterday I checked to make sure it wasn't breast cancer, today I checked symptoms of a cracked rib. It's not cancer, fear not, and even if it is a cracked rib, there's nothing to be done about it. I sure as heck ain't resting for long.
