After spending the majority of yesterday wondering if I really was too dumb to be a graduate student, I gave up hope of figuring out how to work my school email account on my own. So I drove my butt to campus today to get help from someone who knew what they were doing. Or really just someone smarter than me. It took 2 seconds. Seriously. Oh well. I also got a new student ID and picked up keys. That's really the only reason I feel official. KEYS. To a faculty suite in Strong Hall and to the GA office.
I hope I don't lose them.
Here is something strange. I don't remember the names of academic buildings on campus. It took me about 30 seconds before I could name Temple Hall. And I still don't remember the one by Siceluff. Not Cheek, but the other one. Really.
Something else. Bearmail doesn't exist. Neither do Zipcards. But never fear. We now have Bearpass Numbers and Bearpass Email and Bearpass Cards. Well, technically, Bearpass Cards are coming next fall...but still. It's so weird.
I'll now turn my thoughts to Crossfit, because that doesn't ever change. Today was a "choose your own adventure" day. Three benchmark "girl" wods were on the board: Helen, Grace, and Fran. I chose to take on Fran. 21-15-9 reps of 65lb thrusters and pull ups. So you do 21 thrusters, then 21 pull ups. Then 15 of each. Then 9. It's pretty much a death wish. I finished in 8:09, and I promptly collapsed on the floor. In my 2 years of Crossfit, I've never felt like I did today during that wod. I couldn't breathe and I swear my muscles were spasming out. I had a group of people around me yelling me through the last 18 reps. Not that I can really remember any of it. But it was a PR. Take that, Fran. You dirty, dirty hooker.
Also of note. Last week I gave my underwear drawer a makeover. I threw out every pair that I'd rather not be caught in in case of an emergency. Examples: car wreck, falling in my shower and having to have someone retrieve a pair for me, someone stealing my shorts while I'm taking a nap. The list goes on. I did go buy some new pairs to replace the old ones too. Just in case you were wondering.
Zing!
Dang I made a comment then left the page on accident! Here's what I said:
ReplyDeleteAhahahahaha! Watch out for the shorts stealing nap thieves! You will never sleep in peace again!
Also I think you are referring to Hill, perhaps? If that is the case, do not feel bad, as that is the ed building and while I was, you were never nuts enough to go there.
I found you blog on one of my few excursions into the land of facebook! Renee told me you were doing a masters in Public Admin... oh - back in the days of Denise Dutton and PLS101, I would not have anticipated that you would be a GA in the poly sci department. A bold, surprising move Amber - even for you. Way to keep us guessing!!!
