Mizu Madness

Last night Jean treated me to dinner at Mizu. I must say I miss the usual lunches and every so often dinners at the place. He filled me in on some of the shenanigans of the people at TWC. Still sounds like a mess there. While my daily life currently isn't a bed of roses, I am very happy that I am no longer in that toxic environment. Some of the things he told me also validated my beliefs and proved that I was correct in standing my ground on certain battles in the departmental war. I always tell the group to pick and choose your battles. I chose the right ones even if it meant being fired for no valid reason. I hope he gets out of there soon. He's been talking about grad school for the past two years. He better get on it...soon. I went to class after dinner. It was a really good class discussion and for the first time, everyone had a comment about the readings. Tonight was the last night we were focusing on Brazil and the concept they have on racial democracy. It's amazing what a country can do when they try to ignore race yet consistently separate and define its people by it. Next week we start readings on Trinidad and Tobago. I feel groggy and very stiff today. I'm going to push myself to a workout even though I don't really feel like going. I'm feeling lazy like I just want to sleep all day lazy. I'm still having trouble structuring my methodology for my PDR. I think i'm overthinking and stressing over it when I really shouldn't. But hey...that's what I do! Ha ha. I guess i'm just nervous because it involves a client and I always want to do the best job and secondly, if I don't pass this class I don't graduate. Scary prospect. Only really have ten weeks left. That's not a lot of time at all. I'm sure I will be fine. If I can get through listening to all these folks outside chipping away at ice and sleet practically all morning long then I can focus on just about anything! ha ha. it's annoying. I better get ready and then I have a phone interview with Maria for the paper.
