Beautiful 70's

Today is such a beautiful day that it calls for lying out on the grass and not doing work. Unfortunately, I have a massive amount of labor ahead of me for this weekend:

• Come up with some sort of rough draft of the Huntington's disease review paper
• Prepare for Beginning Dance presentation
• Read & come up with discussion questions for ASAM 197
• Read and critique TWO grant proposals for Cell & Dev Bio
• Prepare grant proposal presentation for Cell & Dev Bio
• Check out books & articles for ASAM 197
  
• Practice flute?
• Laundry

There may or may not be more stuffs I have to do--they may have just slipped my mind for now.

I had a very satisfying dinner of creamed broccoli made with cooked frozen broccoli, corn kernels, mixed with nonfat plain yogurt, spicy dijon mustard, some artichoke hummus (addicted to this stuff!), and a pinch of raisins. This salad was topped with garden burger original veggie patty. Yummy! :)

I should probably start taking pictures of my daily life to spice up my page. It's lookin' kind of boring with words, and words, and words.

I've also failed to mention yesterday that I had my "informal interview" with Tracy, the recruitment director for Teach For America. She definitely got me excited! Not only do I get a full salary, ranging from $35,000 to $48,000, depending on where you're stationed, you can also pick your location and the age-group you want to teach. At the same time, you'll also be getting two years of training such that you could get a Master's in Education within those two years! How awesome is that? I get to teach kids, and get a teacher's certificate? Hmm, I would have to rethink about when I'll be getting my yoga teacher's certificate though. I have been planning to focus on my "spiritual education" after I graduate. That is, going to India to study the art of Ashtanga Yoga. Maybe I'll apply to the Watson Fellowship? Basically, the Watson Fellowship allows the student a year of independent study outside his/her home country or the United States. Within that year, the student is not allowed to return to either his/her home country nor the U.S:

The mission of the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship Program is to offer college graduates of unusual promise a year of independent, purposeful exploration and travel outside of the United States in order to enhance their capacity for resourcefulness, imagination, openness, and leadership and to foster their humane and effective participation in the world community.

If I were to apply, I would want to study the tradition of Yoga and how it has been passed down for thousand of years, lost for a time period, and reborn into the Asian culture. I would also like to study how Yoga influences the daily lives of the Indian community. Other places to travel to and study: Thailand, Indonesia, Tibet.

Haha wow, that sounds almost like a brief summary for my Watson's Fellowship proposal!

Anyhooooz, better start working again! Dmitri's at a math talk right now, so I want to squeeze in as much work as I can so I can cuddle with my baby later! Movie from the laptop perhaps? :)
