The first day of desk warming was pretty great... no classes to teach, no crazy students to control, no lesson planning. The second day, the novelty was beginning to wear off around 9:10am. I am now rounding the third straight week of no classes to teach and I have yet to find a solution to my boredom... I have however managed to waste hours and hours on the following websites:
- facebook (duh, I seriously hate/love this thing. Why do my news feeds consist of the same 15 people, and why are they all boring?)
- lamebook (terrible and terribly funny at the same time)
- google reader (the ten blogs that I subscribe to... these people cannot post fast enough to keep me entertained)
- various news sites (the guardian, the new york times, sometimes the onion)
- pitchfork (kinda lame since apple bought out lala and you can't listen to things for free)
- Maangchi's youtube videos (Korean cooking with a wacky Korean lady - with bad music in the background)
- facebook (again, yah.......)
- craigslist Seattle (rents really haven't gone down have they?)
Despite what you might think, it has occured to me to do something productive. I do sometimes take an occasional break from my computer staring, sigh-enducing stupor. Sometimes I play badminton with my elementary school students, or clean up my desk, or walk to the cafeteria to eat lunch. And luckily I am still doing yoga three times a week, otherwise I would really feel like a fat slob.
So, if you have any entertainment suggestions for the rest of my summer of desk warming, I owe you a facebook "like".

Start building a website for your jewelry!!! Decide if you want to build your own, use Etsy, 1000 Markets, Art Span, Ruby Lane, Art Fire, whatever and start working on your artist statement, sales policy etc. Look at others and see how they are written, what you like, dislike etc. You can get a head start now. And/or start a jewelry blog to begin to promote yourself. Start sketching jewlery designs. later you'll look back on this free time with longing...
ReplyDeleteRob and I are getting a 1200 sq ft. 2 bedroom apartment for $895/month! You can do eeeeeet!
ReplyDeleteAre you subscribed to the food blog Orangette? It's sooo good and makes me psyched to get back to Seattle.
Also the blog Notes by Naive is really beautiful.
