march 9, 2013

A few updates and maybe when I have some more time i can expand a bit.  it has been a busy week.  I have started teaching one person here private muay thai lessons, doing a couple hours a week and hoping that he can help to spread the word that I would like to pic up others.  work is going, not really exciting, but paying the bills.

i sold my car.  got exactly what i paid for it, minus a few administrative costs and an oil change.  I am hoping to change it into a motorcycle.  I passed the license test for the first time, tried twice in CO and failed both times.  after the second time i got on my bike and drove home and figured i didnt need it anyway.  but now i have cash and am ready to buy a bike, but they go so fast.  will be heading out to look at another GSX-R that hasnt sold yet, who knows the last one went right before i arrived to another buyer.

but the real bitch of the week has been finding out that we are getting kicked out of the house.  the landlord informed us that they will not be renewing the lease which expires at the end of the month.  only giving us 24 days notice to find a new place.  besides the short time crush, the place is really nice.  It is going to be hard to find anything that comes close in the same price range and anything near the amenities and convenient shopping that is nearby.  went with the roommates to see 2 places today.  one was a bust, the other doable, but just not quite good enough and not worth the step down for a slight step up in price.

tomorrow is the hapalua half marathon.  so i am also getting ready for that.  I have not been running as much as i would like to be ready for a race.  but with cycling to work and boxing i dont have a lot left for running.  i told my student, i run to improve my boxing, I dont box so I can run.  that being said it would be nice to know that my conditioning is improving and i might be able to move toward a 90 minute 21k.

and my classes open for review this weekend and formally start on monday.  its a busy week.  i submitted a writing assessment to see if i can place out of the 0-credit writing seminar, the remedial writing for grad students who cant write.  since i have been an english teacher i would hope that i can pass out of the class.  i didnt opt for any help on this one since i wanted to see if i could do it on my own.  but at the same time having to take a remedial writing class for no credit is not really on my list of things to do.
