Indi-Anna: January 2012
http://indi-anna.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Remaking my Mind and Other Adventures. Wednesday, 25 January 2012. But I am significantly less busy (so far) than last semester, so am planning on being a better blogger, hopefully with more fun things to say than "today I lesson planned and read theory and ate my dinner standing next to my kitchen sink." I'm not used to this leisure time, and need to be more productive with it (read: volunteering at an animal shelter) instead of knitting fingerless gloves and watching PBS series' (DOWNTON! Sometimes I w...

Indi-Anna: October 2011
http://indi-anna.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Remaking my Mind and Other Adventures. Friday, 28 October 2011. A View From the Bridge. Tonight, I went and saw A View From the Bridge. Which is what prompted these Brooklyn musings. I was not that excited about this opera going in, for two major reasons:. 2 A View From the Bridge. Was originally an Arthur Miller play, which was adapted into an opera. I can't handle Arthur Miller. I cry every time. We had to read The Crucible. And Death of a Salesman. A View From the Bridge. Is set in Red Hook, Brooklyn,...

Indi-Anna: August 2011
http://indi-anna.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Remaking my Mind and Other Adventures. Thursday, 11 August 2011. Thank You For Riding the Pain Train. I'm done-done-done-done with Arabic, as of about 4 hours ago! I think I passed, but more importantly, I'm DONE (done! Did I mention that I'm done? I meet with my supervising professor tomorrow and the other AI tomorrow (I'm an associate instructor for Renaissance to Modern this fall, ye gods) and I keep forgetting that I have to teach in 2 1/2 short weeks! Friend: Starbucks water.on the glass. Rather stu...

Indi-Anna: Wocka Wocka Wocka

Remaking my Mind and Other Adventures. Friday, 2 December 2011. I will never stop loving the Muppets. In point of fact, how could someone NOT love the Muppets? For the first time in a few days. The celebrity cameos were hilarious as always (I was hoping for Steve Martin, but no luck), the songs were actually pretty good, and the jokes were plentiful. The new Muppet, Walter, is ADORABLE. His talent is whistling! In the parking lot. Makes me tear up, and Statler and Waldorf always make me laugh. The Muppet...

Indi-Anna: May 2011
http://indi-anna.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Remaking my Mind and Other Adventures. Thursday, 26 May 2011. Anyway, we sat on the porch, as we have innumerable times before. Since it faces the street, which is moderately trafficked, you can get in some good people watching. We didn’t see any crimes, ala. But we did start making up stories about the people who were driving by. It turned silly fast. For instance:. Switch, especially since I ended up saying “the fights…Club.” Sigh.). Younger skinny guy in blue car, returning from the other direction wi...

Indi-Anna: the Best Laid Plans...
http://indi-anna.blogspot.com/2012/02/best-laid-plans.html
Remaking my Mind and Other Adventures. Wednesday, 8 February 2012. The Best Laid Plans. I just got on the Amtrak in Hudson, en route to New York City, and just BROKE into a train car. Another guy and I were looking for seats, so we just kept going down the train and then there was a locked door, and we both went, "oh, what the hell? So send me scholarly vibes for tomorrow! I think so. This post is all over the place. Blame it on the fever, I guess. Labels: places other than Indiana. The Best Laid Plans.

Indi-Anna: March 2012
http://indi-anna.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Remaking my Mind and Other Adventures. Sunday, 4 March 2012. Our six student speakers were great, and we give them an honorarium, which is really rare. All of them told me that we were super organized (ha ha! And nice, and some of them are now thinking of applying here. It makes me glad to be a part of this department. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I’m out here a thousand miles from my home. Walkin’ a road other men have gone down. I’m a-seein’ your world of people and things. Bob Dylan, Song to Woody, 1962.

Indi-Anna: Hiatus
http://indi-anna.blogspot.com/2011/12/hiatus.html
Remaking my Mind and Other Adventures. Wednesday, 7 December 2011. I'm in a much better frame of mind after ordering pizza for dinner, knocking out six pages of writing tonight, doing a solid months worth of laundry (hey, I'll have clean underwear tomorrow! Listening to a ridiculous amount of Michael Buble's Christmas songs, and making lists. Send me good, scholarly, multi-tasking vibes. I need them. And I'll send some to you! See you all in the middle of the month. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Indi-Anna: June 2011
http://indi-anna.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Remaking my Mind and Other Adventures. Sunday, 26 June 2011. So although my last few posts have been about class, there is a lot more going on. Even when I've been studying vocab (which is, like, all the time) I'm not by myself: for instance, the past two nights have been study-heavy since we have our first test tomorrow, but they also involved cooking dinner with friends, going for walks, eating ice cream, and watching Funny Face. While we practiced spelling. (also, I can't get with Funny Face. Who was ...

Indi-Anna: July 2011
http://indi-anna.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Remaking my Mind and Other Adventures. Tuesday, 26 July 2011. I do apologize for the lax blogging of late, but 1. I moved apartments, and 2. my 6 year old IBM crashed its poor harddrive, so I've been sans computer for 2 weeks. Which was a bit liberating, actually- I checked my email a lot less and spent more time reading actual books, but I'm glad to have it back. In the meantime, I had a few academic run-ins that were both amusing and slightly scary, and so will share them with you now. 5 I won't even!
