don't get me wrong--i love my job, i love teaching, and i'm very glad that i get to do it over the summer...but i am very, very, very happy to see the end of this first summer semester. not that the classes were bad, but the grueling schedule made it hard to stay healthy, and who doesn't love a short respite?
so, although i thoroughly enjoyed teaching this summer session, i am looking forward to a week of re-centering my body and clearing my head. given the aforementioned schedule, the fibro has been an ever-present companion so the more fluid schedule will be a wonderful period of rest and rejuvenation. i am also looking forward to preparing for next summer session and getting back into my research schedule.
today was study day, giving a little taste of what is to come. although it was a day filled with work, i had the delicious opportunity to do it all cuddled up at home...how i miss those graduate school days of working at home in my pink chair...
the day also afforded me the chance to work on my rice paper roll project. i have for some time been determined to make something with rice paper, and after finding this recipe on gluten free scallywag i was doubly inspired! so with only a fleeting sense of confidence, i embarked on this new adventure.
it was very fun and turned out well, especially for my first try. the hardest part was wrapping the rolls in a visually appealing way...and not eating all of them in one breath!
some gluten-free peanut and sweet chili sauce drizzled on top, and all was right with the world...
