Wow, how time flies! I can hardly believe we are all halfway through the year. This year has been an interesting one for me. Getting into OISE/University of Toronto was realizing a dream I have had for years now. I am so excited about being in the program and now I am coming very close to completing my first course in the program.I'm currently working on a dissertation proposal on the politics of black hair. I am thinking of branching this idea out to discuss hair in general. There is so much to include on this topic, and so many great works that have come out since I started this research back in 1998 that I am really glad that I am revisiting it.
My teaching with Ryerson for the Spring/Summer semesters this year is drawing to a close. It has been a wonderful experience that I have thoroughly enjoyed. I have applied to teach there for the fall, and will be applying to teach for the Chang School again in the fall too. I am hoping that by keeping my bases covered, something will pan out.
I am also still waiting to hear about teaching with Seneca@York for the fall as well. I will be teaching there for the summer semester. The course I will be teaching is media writing. I am really looking forward to it, especially since this is a course I really enjoy teaching. I am fortunate that I consistently receive courses that I really enjoy to teach.
Well...it's getting late and I better start preparing for bed. Even though my inner financial advisor is against it, I am having Crystal Clear Maids come in and clean for me on Sunday morning. I tried cleaning myself again, however I am just guiltily addicted to the expert clean that this company provides. There is supposed to be a great Jewish Festival happening in Toronto on Sunday, so if you are in town, you should check it out. Plus, there are also great games with the World Cup to catch. An old friend of mine is hosting the games, Kim Brunhuber. He's doing a fantastic job. We went to school together at Carleton University.
Whatever you do tomorrow, especially if you are in Toronto, the weather is supposed to be cloudy, but a high of 26 C. Not too bad. Enjoy yourself!
