and it begins!

Phew! Labs have started again and so I'm back to teaching. I remember doing labs and thinking how easy it was to be the ta....you already know the stuff, you just come answer questions and do a bit of marking. What I didn't realize was the hours spent preparing and marking. It takes a long time to mark 60 lab assignments.
The same could be said for Kung-Fu, I remember when I started, I thought the blackbelts knew everything and had done it all. Now I realize that the learning never stops. That's why Kung-Fu is so fun...and so hard.

Basic numbers: 204 pushups, 202 crunches, 208 kicks, 4 reps tai chi, 4 reps broadsword, 4 miles.

Acts of kindness: helped students in the lab, made Mike lunch and breakfast, gave the dog a treat.

Today I consumed: a bagel with cream cheese, a ham and cheeses sandwich, an apple, some peas and carrots, a cookie, 2 pieces of jam toast, a bowl of noodles with toast. I drank 1 cup of coffee, 9 glasses of water and 1 neocitron.
